Poster "And you have an impact on the purity of the air we breathe!"

Due to  information from the WHO (World Health Organization) that Zywiec is the most polluted town of the European Union, our school joined the action to stop  burning garbage in domestic heating systems. In this way we want to contribute to better quality of the air in our area.
The garbage burning is still a big problem in our beautiful region. During the heating season you can often not only  see from the chimneys but smell  burning rubber or other garbage.
           Our school announced a contest for a poster titled "And you have an impact on the purity of the air we breathe!" The students have done over a dozen posters The best poster was chosen. It was  the work of Klaudia from class III a as it depicted the problem in the most interesting way.

 

Students' posters

The best project

The  frame containing information about our project Erasmus +  "Live Healthy in a Healthy Environment" was added to it. The poster was printed in 15 copies and arranged on information boards in the community Radziechowy-Wieprz.

Posters on the information boards

We hope that through this poster we will get to a wide number of people and convince  them that they also have an impact on the surrounding air.

Some impressions of the students visit in Assen

 Live Healthily in a Healthy Environment  

Students Exchange Assen 5-12 November 2016

We started on Monday.

We changed the train about 4 times, all in all the trip was about 6 hours long. When we arrived at the train station, a teacher and an exchange-girl were already there.

After walking about 15 minutes, we first met our exchange-students. We arrived at school. It's a very big College, also it's very modern. After  the headteacher and the English teacher had said hello , we went to our "new" home by car. The afternoon was free for the family.

The next day, we had workshops at school. We talked about environment, had a city-bicycle- tour, built solar mills, made presentations about smoking and all this of course in English.

Wednesday we visited Amsterdam.

First we visited a very old and small city, Zaanse Schans. We stopped on the dike and looked a statue from a very famous person: Dr. Lely, who designed the Deltaworks. Finally we arrived Amsterdam, first we got the chance to see the science-museum Nemo (It looked like a ship).

Then we went to a boat to get to know Amsterdam by a boat. After this we got 40 minutes freetime. We drove back to school.

Thursday we had a bicycle-tour. Personally for me it was hard, because I had to go to school by bike as well (50 minutes!). In the afternoon we prepared healthy and international food. In the evening(18:00) we had dinner at school. It was very cool, because there you could talk to each other and become friends with them.

Friday we go to Wildlands Emmen, it's like a zoo. The people told us (in English of course) something about the animals. The tour guide was very interesting. When going in the animal-houses, it was like being in an another world. At 15:10pm we go back to the bus and drove to school. The evening we got freetime with the family: I cooked, together with Roy, Pizza. In the evening I first celebrated Sint Maarten, it was very nice.

In Germany we would say, that it is a mix between Halloween and Laternenumzug: The kids go to the house sing a special song and get sweets. The supermarket is a part of this celebration as well. They don’t get only sweets: they get little gifts as well. In the Netherlands it takes place for the little kids (~Grundschule and lower). The celebration can be compared with a black (!) Nicolaus. The little brother of my exchange-student joined it with a sheep-latern. It looked very cute.

Today is Saturday, time to say goodbye. It will definitely be hard, but it's nice to know, that they'll come to Germany in March.

Utrecht  is the capital and most populous city in the Dutch province of Utrecht. It is located in the eastern corner of the Randstad conurbation and is the fourth largest city in the Netherlands with a population of 330,772 in 2014.
Utrecht's ancient city centre features many buildings and structures several dating as far back as the High Middle Ages. It has been the religious centre of the Netherlands since the 8th century. It lost the status of prince-bishopric but remains the main religious center in the country. Utrecht was the most important city in the Netherlands until the Dutch Golden Age, when it was surpassed by Amsterdam as the country's cultural centre and most populous city.
Utrecht is host to Utrecht University, the largest university in the Netherlands, as well as several other institutions of higher education. Due to its central position within the country, it is an important transport hub for both rail and road transport. It has the second highest number of cultural events in the Netherlands, after Amsterdam. In 2012, Lonely Planet included Utrecht in the top 10 of the world’s unsung places.
