School Day in Croatia

Every year on 19^th March our school celebrates School day. On that occasion, our teachers and students presented a wide range of after school activities. Among other things we presented all Erasmus projects in which we are participating at the moment. Our current project, Connected with the Environment, was presented by the members of the eco-team. Using PowerPoint presentation, we listed all the activities we've done from the 1^st module until today. We created a brochure that was given to the visitors in order to inform them better about the goals and project implementation. Furthermore, we conducted a workshop “Ecological Footprint Calculator“, using tablets and mobile application “Footprint”. We helped the visitors to calculate their ecological footprint, we commented on the result and gave advice on how to improve it. The visitors were mostly students and their parents but also members of the local community who have participated in the event with interest.

PLASTIC BAGS BAN

On 28th of December 2018, Slovenians heard some exciting news. Our government decided that all plastic bags in stores need to be paid for! This was great news because we have to start saving our planet now and not in 10 years, when it’s too late. I think it’s a great way of making people aware of how important recycling plastic bags is. Most people are already supporting complete ban of plastic bags, except the ones we use to put our fruit in because the’re necessary. But if, in the future, we will be able to find an alternative for them, we will completely ban them too.

UPDATE

WEDNESDAY 20/03/2019 & WEDNESDAY 27/03/2019 Last Wednesday, we finished making the leaflets about sensitizing the world and changing our habits in order to be more eco-friendly in both Greek and English. Today, we continued our research concerning the cites' engagement in being eco-friendly and we decided the form we should present our results in. Both the leaflets and the outcome of our research will be at your command very soon. Hold your breaths! 😉 Writers: Lida & Melina
