"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.
