I have been a teacher of civic education for the past 10 years. I encourage my students to develop and create a conscious and critical view of what is happening around them. Collaborate, research, act, and change things. Let's fight for a better future. I participated in projects important to society (eco-projects, civic responsibility, student cooperation - respect for differences, conflict resolution)

Climate change

The students introduced themselves by creating an eco bit moji. This was followed by a short video introducing climate change, which we discussed later. They presented their conclusions on climate change through drawings and the creation of a common hammer. All this was exhibited in the section on eco-activities which is located in the school hall.

The effects of climate change

Together with students, we talked about climate change and its consequences. The students highlighted them on colored sheets, created a beautiful cloud of words, and placed them in our classroom.

connecting with peers in other schools / countries

had a virtual meeting with students from Mumbai, India. The students introduced themselves, presented what they have learned so far within the project. As a final activity of this meeting, the students in Padlet wrote about solutions for climate change and the creation of visual representations.

Potential solutions for climate change

Through a storm of ideas, students suggested ways to protect the environment. Then we talked about what we can do and three activities were singled out, which we realized in our close environment. Each of us brought flowers from our home and planted them in the schoolyard, planted a few flowers in our classroom as well. We had an eco-action to collect garbage. We rode bicycles around our school and had fun.

Findings and solutions

The activities for the 5th week are aimed at sharing the findings and solutions by the students. As a solution, we decided to point out the recycling. Students made recycling boxes. They covered them with colored paper and placed symbols for recycling plastic and paper. In the same way, they created tree from plastic. The plastic works were exhibited in the creative eco corner created by the students.

As a task during the 6th week of the project, the students wrote a letter to the mayor of our city, presented the problems in their place of residence that are related to the environment and the impact on climate change. Some of them also offered certain solutions.
