In the middle of February we were hosting teachers and students from Greece and France with whom we have been coopereting within the Erasmus+ project “Take Action for the Earth”.

On the 11th of December we visited the Primary School number 2 in order to show our younger friends what our actions within the Erasmus+ Project „Take Action for The Earth” look like.

As part of the educational project Academy of Climate ekoMałopolska, students taking part in the Erasmus+ TAFTE particpated in a meeting about environmental protection and comabting climate changes. They watched an ecological film „Animal” and „The history of solutions” and took the whole podium in an interactive quiz.

Between 10 and 17 October 12 students from our school participated in a trip to Greece within Erasmus+ programme „Take Action For The Earth”. During it, the youth had a chance to visit a lot of places such as Athens, Olympia, Nafpaktos and Messologi as well as take part in lectures concerning environmental protection against harmful human activity, producing microplastics and water, air and soil pollution.

From the 20th till 22nd September, 2023, there was a teachers’ meeting in Patra, Greece, in which teachers from Greece, France and Poland, the organisers of youth trip within Erasmus+ Project “Take Action for The Earth” took part. Our school was represented by Mr Grzegorz Słowik. During the meeting, the agenda of students’ stay was discussed, especially the details concerning transport, accommodation as well as the attractions for the participants. The hosts of the meeting prepared two presentations. The aim of the first one was to bring closer the history and achievements of the school as well as the cooperation with the local university. The second one presented Greek educational system on every level. The teachers had also an opportunity to attend a few classes such as mathematics, English, French and Information Technology.

On the 14th of September, 2023, students taking part in the Erasmus+ project „Take action for the Earth” had a meeting with Mr Krzysztof Przybyła, the worker of the forest district of Nowy Targ. The forester in a clear and interesting way explained how important the peatbogs, located in the reserve „Bór na Czerwonem”, are for the environment. The students got to know how and why the reserve was created and why they were surrounded by trenches. Mr Przybyła informed the participants that the reserve in Nowy Targ was included in the list of Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, equivalent of UNESCO. Bór na Czerwonem is one of the 19 which were selected from Poland.

A group of students taking part in the Erasmus+ project Take Action For the Earth received an invitation from the Town Hall in Nowy Targ to participate in the Nowotarski Ecological Picnic. The aim of this event was to encourage the citizens to make use of the natural environment in a conscious way and to take care actively of the natural resources of our planet. The presentation prepared by our students deepened the knowledge of the participants about sustainable development and actions taken for the climate. The students called for ceasing the devastation of the natural environment and pointed out those actions which are harmful to it. They presented specific examples how to reduce water and energy consumption, how to segregate rubbish and how to limit the emission of harmful substances in the atmosphere.
