Connected with the Environment

Undertake challenges that develop new skills The Erasmus+ Connected with the Environment Group basically focuses on collaborating and interacting with 4 other schools around Europe. It is a way to bring students together (with different cultural backgrounds and traditions) and challenge them in grouping with the other members, working effectively with one another and learning from each other through different ways. This is done through the different meetings which are organized for each of the four modules which every group from each school has to accomplish different objectives which might include: raising awareness, taking action, gathering data, researching, investigating and many more depending on the module itself and the specific objective that the student has decided to work on.

On 26th of April we had a day without electronic devices. Our students created posters of different kinds. They were about nature and about protecting it. Each student also created a hand made out of paper. On the hand students wrote about how they are helping Earth and about things everyone should do. We joined all hands into a beautiful exhibition showing Earth and our hands supporting it. Students seemed to have a lot of fun on Unplugged day. The theme was Earth day which was a few days earlier. We didn't celebrate Earth day on 22th of April because we will celebrate Earth day on the last day before holidays. Earth day was about protecting Earth and taking care of it's environment. Because of humans, species of animals and plants are disappearing and that effects on biodiversity, climate changes and our natural sources. Humans destroy habitats and a lot of animals lose their home which has bigger effect on a global scale.

  On Monday, 29th April 2019 the CRO eco team did the A25 task in the City Hall. In conversation with the local authorities, we should investigate how much is our city eco-friendly.  Six members of the project team (Ivona Suhić, Tina Milijaš, Luka Hacek, Tonka Igrec, Mirjam Bezak and Dina Bekić), project coordinator Draženka Kolonić and principal Karmen Hans Jalšovec attended the meeting with Sandra Malenica, deputy mayor and Draženka Dević, leader of an office for education. We have presented our project and the activities we are doing. We have asked questions about waste at the eastern entrance to the city as well as about the possibility of setting up the city bicycles for rent. We talked about an initiative for the city to ban the use of single-use plastic before the year 2021 when it should become prohibited by law. Most of our questions are already being considered and resolved. About banning the use of single-use plastics at events in the city, such as t...
