Webinar on Climate Change

Lecture On Climate Change

We had an opportunity to attend a lecture with Prof. Dr. Zafer YÜCESAN entitled: "Climate change and Sustainability". During the online meeting, we learned why our daily activities have a significant impact on the climate and how important it is to make mature, sustainable choices.

The meeting was carried out as part of the eTwinning You've Got a Mail project.

"Environmental changes for sustainable schools"

On August 15th-22nd, Mrs. Małgorzata Krzymińska and Lidia Michałowska participated in the project  "Environmental changes for sustainable schools" course in Tenerife as a part of  the POWER project "To inspire and be inspired".

The course, led by very nice lecturers - Laura and Jose, was an excellent opportunity to discuss the conscious exploitation of our planet. Teachers from Poland, Croatia, Hungary, Greece, Italy and Bulgaria explored the ideas of sustainable development. Working on the project method, the participants jointly performed tasks aimed at conscious consumerism, followed the way in which goods were produced, and finally performed the ecological footprint test. The subject of the course was also related to the issues of the circular economy, examples of permaculture, reuse of waste and the implementation of sustainable development goals in schools in Tenerife.

It was an intense week full of good energy and creative ideas.

Webinar on sustainability

        The Earth Day is a great opportunity to talk about sustainable development, which is an important element of the Erasmus + project. On this occasion, our school project coordinator took part in a webinar entitled: "Let's Speak Out for Sustainability, together". During the meeting, Mr. Harry Waters and representatives of BBC Studios and Pearson shared their experience and good practices in the field of sustainable life, sustainable development at work and cooperation with students. The key factors in the topic are the awareness of how important our daily habits are and how much they affect our planet and our development. During the next meeting of the project group, the participants, together with the coordinators, will consider how they can change their daily habits.

WE SHOULD NOT GO BACK TO THE NORMAL BECAUSE THE NORMAL IS THE PROBLEM

Our Erasmus Team hosted an ambasador of WWF - an organization whose mission is to conserve nature and reduce the most pressing threats to the diversity of life on the Earth.

The meeting was hold online due to pandemic but our benefits from this event were as great as in real. 

Mrs Magdalena Noszczyk showed us very educational presentation and made us think about our future. We realized that a condition of our planet is strongly connected with a quality of people’s life. We have remembered from this meeting one basic rule: Protecting the Earth is a global issue but all of us can start changing the world from ourselves. 

Wasting food you waste our planet!

 A lecture on clever food management taught our students the importance of food products in life. We learnt how not to waste food and discovered that when throwing it  away we get rid of other natural goods.  What is more we were encouraged to save energy. Do you know that we need 90 litres of water to produce one cheese sandwich? Interesting, isn’t it?

We need to be watered

 

Sanitary-Epidemiological Station conducted a lecture on the meaning of water in human life, its  treatment and waste. Some students from our school attended  a presentation, visited laboratories and watched a movie about healthy eating habits.

Meeting with experts in BGBRG Judenburg

 On the last day of the teacher's meeting coordinators took part in classes as a form of job shadowing.  The topic of lessons was related to sustainability and it was a good occasion to observe the engagement of students in the topic  and share experience with teachers as far as teaching methods are concerned. Then teachers had workshops with experts. The subject of the first workshop was about climate change, while the other was related to reusable energy sources obtained from paper production. 

Our teachers came from the meeting with a range of new ideas.

Workshops in Judenburg

Second day in Austrian school started with a visit to a secondary school in Southwestern Styria. In that institution students are educated  how to run a wine yard and manage the company. The school is greatly sustainable as it obtains energy from solar panels and has electric car charging point. It does not use fossil fuels to heat the school but instead gains the heat from the local heat station which generates it from wood. Moreover, students run a shop where wine and dried fruit are sold. Glass bottles can be filled many times instead of buying new ones.

Moreover, teachers visited ecological pumpkin seed oil farm.  Oil is obtained in sustainable way and waste  generated in the production line is left on the field for animals or to fertilize the soil.
