Our school joined the action of collecting plastic caps of the Croatian Leukemia and Lymphoma Association. Students diligently collect plastic caps and bring them to school in boxes prepared for this purpose. In this way, we do good for the preservation of our environment, but also a humanitarian work for the needy, because the Association will buy medicine in exchange for plastic caps.
In order to promote responsible consumption and production in accordance with the 12th goal of sustainable development, during the English lesson, we organized class "flea markets" or "second-hand markets". The 6th and 8th grade students exchanged things that they no longer needed, but were in good condition, and the class stands contained clothes, equipment, toys, comics, books and other things that made the new owners happy. We tried to promote the idea of sustainability through the exchange of things and recycling, and to raise students' awareness of responsible consumption. Together we concluded that sometimes it is not necessary to buy new things, but it is enough to exchange them.
Even younger students got involved in the project activities! We introduced the 2nd grade students to the meaning of the concept of sustainability. After that, the students were given the task to draw a portrait of Sustainability as they imagine it and to list in English the elements they included in the portrait. It's never too early to talk about important topics for the planet!
Kako bi promicali odgovornu potrošnju i proizvodnju u skladu s 12. ciljem održivog razvoja, tijekom sata Engleskog jezika, organizirali smo razredne „buvljake“ odnosno „second-hand markets“. Učenici 6. i 8. razreda su razmijenili stvari koje im nisu više potrebne, ali su u dobrom stanju te se na razrednim štandovima našla odjeća, tehnika, igračke, stripovi, knjige te ostale razne sitnice koje su uveselile nove vlasnike. Nastojali smo promicati ideju održivosti kroz razmjenu stvari i recikliranje te kod učenika probuditi svijest o odgovornoj potrošnji. Zajedno smo zaključili da ponekad nije potrebno kupovati nove stvari, već ih je dovoljno razmijeniti.
