Dear friends,
We are glad to announce you that our project "URRRGENT! Europe's knocking at the door" has been selected as a candidate for the European prize.
Last Wednesday 24th January the Regional TV Canal Taronja came to school to interview the pupils and the teacher from Sant Josep school in Navàs.They wanted to know what action we did for the European Week of Waste Reduction: "Give it a new life" desings and also the "Garlic soup" a traditional soup that uses dry bread to avoid food waste.
This is their report:
L’Agència de Residus de Catalunya ha presentat sis projectes catalans al IX Premi Europeu de la Prevenció de Residus, que es donarà a conèixer en una cerimònia a finals de maig a Brussel·les.
Entre els candidats seleccionats hi ha el projecte dels alumnes de 5è de primària col·legi Sant Josep de Navàs que competeix en l’apartat Cooperació entre regions i que es titula “URRRGENT! Europe’s knocking at the door.” L’Agència l’ha seleccionat tenint en compte la relació de les activitats amb els eixos de la Setmana Europea de la Prevenció de Residus, celebrada el novembre passat, l’originalitat de la proposta, i el seu caràcter innovador. Des del centre navassenc estant satisfets de seguir participant en projectes europeus
El treball seleccionat es basa a donar nova vida a objectes utilitzats, des d’ampolles convertides en dispensadors de bosses de plàstic o el programa de malbaratament d’aliments on es va presentar la reutilització del pa sec a través de la sopa d’all.
Els alumnes tenen 10 anys, es relacionen amb altres alumnes de centres europeus i comparteixen projectes sobre les tres erres, reduir, reutilitzar i reciclar. Diversos alumnes explicaven el que havien fet i les seves experiències.
És un projecte eTwinning entre el col·legi sant Josep de Navàs i l’escola grega 1st Experimental Primary School d’Alexandroupoli. Les escoles han compartit propostes per treballar el concepte “Donem-li una nova vida”.
