  • German school project diary

    1. 3rd September 2019

    We are happy to announce that we are a group of 16 students and 4 teachers participating in the project. Today, we went through our project calendar, gathered some ideas on sustainability and left with a little homework: Finding specific topics to work on during the next few weeks! We are excited to see what's happening! :-)

    2. 10th September 2019

    Today, we put ourselves into different groups (media, waste/recycling, food, energy/water, clothes, mobility) and decided on a few activities that we are going to be part of. For example, one group decided to take part in the "RhineCleanUp 2019" on 14th September! We are looking forward to the cleanup session. Check this out:

    3. 17th September

    RhineCleanUp 2019 was a real success! Our students even found a sustainable shop on their way home and bought some biodegradable toothbrushes (made of bamboo). Soon, we need to get ready for our first workshop meeting in Poland. We are really excited!

    4. 24th September 2019

    Our meeting today was very short since there are exams going on at the moment. However, we found a few interesting contests for school which we want to have a closer look at next time.

    5. 8th October 2019

    Last session before the autumn break! Today, we calculated our carbon footprints, started to work on our eTwinning profiles and created short video clips on how to make our school more sustainable. That means we had to postpone our plan of further investigating what the different school contests have to offer.

    6. 29th October 2019

    One of our students decided to take part in the following contest:

    Students test products and write extensive reviews. We decided to test sustainable self-made shampoo and shower gel.

    Moreover, we want to be part of: https://take17.de/wettbewerb/
    We have to send in a video on sustainability and are thinking about handing in the video that we created before the autumn break: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJcpxaP9osw

    One last contest: https://www.mbei.nrw/de/eurovisions
    Here, we have to send in photos or a video clip showing how we see "Europe".

    7. 5th November 2019

    Today, we had a video conference with the French group, sharing ideas on how to live a more eco-friendly life. After that skype session we really cannot wait to meet in person in Warsaw in two weeks time :-). See you soon!
