Mind RΕset IS TRANSFORMING, RENEWING, AND MAKING A BOLD COMEBACK WITH A FRESH THEMATIC FOCUS.

Junior Achievement Cyprus, in collaboration with Lidl Cyprus, with the institutional support of the Ministry of Education, Sports, and Youth, and under the auspices of the Ministry of Agriculture, Rural Development and the Environment, is offering for the fifth consecutive year the Mind REset programme to students in the 5th and 6th grade of primary school and the 1st and 2nd grade of Gymnasium.

Mind REset is transforming, renewing, and making a bold comeback with a fresh thematic focus. Its commitment, passion, and experiential learning methodology remain the same. We’re shifting from exploring the impact of plastic on our lives to the hot topic of Resource Conservation-specifically, Food Waste-while maintaining our dedication to environmental impact. On this new path, we’re not alone. We walk alongside Lidl Cyprus for the careful use of resources!

 

The “Mind REset” programme is a fun and interactive initiative that consists of five lessons. Its modules aim to introduce students to the field of environmental entrepreneurship and help them develop skills that contribute to the protection and preservation of the environment. As part of the programme, students will also be asked to identify the consequences of food waste in our lives and suggest practical and sustainable solutions to protect and preserve the environment.

At the same time, students will be introduced to the exciting world of entrepreneurship and encouraged to promote their own products and services. They will progress from the initial idea stage to design and implementation. Over the past four academic years, the programme has been offered to more than 12,500 students, with great success.

The two teams that will be awarded as Mind Resetters of the Year 2026 (one team from Primary School and one team from Gymnasium) will win an entrepreneurial educational experience abroad!

The official launch of the programme will be marked by the Teachers Trainings that will take place on October 16 and 17, 2025, in Nicosia and Limassol, respectively. These workshops will be held at venues to be announced soon, offering teachers from across Cyprus the guidance and educational resources they need to implement the programme in their schools. Participants will also have the opportunity to exchange ideas and network with their colleagues.
