On the 26th April, 2023, students taking part in the Erasmus+ project „Take action for the Earth” joined the 5th edition of Clean River Operation. Together with the supervising teacher they set off by the Dunajec River to tidy the area near our school, the ice rink as well as the „Zakopianka” road. Students collected 7 big bags of litter altogether.

From the 26th March to 1st April, 2023, a group of students from Seweryn Goszczyński High School in Nowy Targ, took part in an international meeting organised within the Erasmus+ Project „Take Action For The Earth”. The first session took place in Perpignan in the south of France. Our stay there was filled with interesting lectures, thought-provoking projects and trips to breath-taking places. During that week, we developed our teamwork skills, got to know a lot about our climate and problems connected with the environment. It was also a chance to master our language skills and learn how to overcome mental block and other language barriers while communicating with students from France and Greece.

The participants of Erasmus+ Project Take Action for The Earth have prepared, working in groups, posters about the natural environment. They were working on topics such as changes in the environment connected with air, water, energy, ecosystem, waste and carbon footprint. The works present types of water and air pollution, types of energy, interdependence between the natural environment and different species as well as the sources of carbon footprint. The posters serve didactic and informative purposes.

Since September 2022, the students and teachers from Seweryn Goszczyński High School have been working on the project „Take Action for The Earth”. The students have been participating in theme lectures as well as meetings with environmentalists. On the 8th of November they took part in the lecture entitled „Wetlands, climate, people” which was led by habilitated doctor Wiktor Kotowski who works in the Department of Environmental Protection at the Warsaw University.
