One of our students has already had great success in a larger project called "Jugend forscht!". As part of this team she was invited to present her findings in class.
Her presentation can be watched in the video link below.
Meeting the mayoress of Augsburg, she made various recommendations for action, such as placing garbage cans on company premises wisely - not too close to rivers and streams.
In addition, she and her sister invite and address many (young) people to get active:
Fotowettbewerb: Macht mit bei der Aktion Müllschmelze! - [GEOLINO]
Magazin: #müllschmelze - Die Mülljagd ist eröffnet! | Lifeguide Augsburg (lifeguide-augsburg.de)
Some of our students were invited to observe their personal behaviour - so they were given tasks, e.g.:
"Please collect your plastic garbage from the weekend and then take a photo. At best, you'll try to find out which and how many different types of plastic, including frequency, you've found in your collection. The file attached can and should help you to find out more about it right away.
Take part as a family if you want to."
Some examples of our results and students’ comments on their personal attitude can be seen in the attached documents.
