Construction of animated recycling stations

In February our school developed an activity on the theme “Construction of animated recycling stations”. At the beginning, we announced the theme using a poster. From 6^th to 11^th February the pupils needed to send their  sketches to the responsible teacher (Spiridon Nicolae). After that the committee chose the best drawing. Between 11^th and 28^th the work team started to build the selected stations. They made 3 different  projects helped by the teachers.

1^st  grade A and B – by primary school teachers Georgeta Coltofeanu and Mihaela Prodea

5^th  grade A and B by – art teacher Otelea Alexandra

7^th  grade B – by geography teacher Spiridon Nicolae

This activity included a number of 186 students (108 girls and 78 boys) from primary, secondary and high school. After the stage of construction was finished, we posted the stations in different locations(one in the lobby of our school, one in the Cultural Center “Reduta” and even in a Bank )

The poster

The poster of The Comenius multilateral school partnerships project ’A PATH TO SUSTAINABILITY’, part of lifelong learning programme funded by the European Committee,  aims to present to the public the partners of ’Andrei Mureşanu’ High School from Braşov, the theme, purpose, targets and strategies of the project, its schedule and the expected outcomes of the developed activities.

The project attempts to draw attention on the protection of the environment in a world dominated by technology. Being aware of this, most teachers and students of the high school did not hesitate to get involved in the suggested activities. One of the products is this poster which reflects the ideas and creativity of the students and aroused their interest even from the beginning.
