"Walk the Global Walk for Sustainable Cities"

At the end of May, our students took a walk in the urban environment of our city, inspired by Action Aid's Walk the Global Walk. Together with other students from 11 countries across Europe, they "gathered" miles of urban scenery in order to observe, comment and evaluate if the way of designing and managing the area that surrounds us contributes to the welfare and quality of life of fellow citizens.

This way, we mainly served Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, as well as Goal 4: Quality Education.

“ Sunflower” Project

We, the students of the 8th grade of the Carlo-Schmid-High School in Berlin-Spandau, and our partner organisation "Proyecto Padrinos de Atiquizaya e. V. " would like to support pupils in Salvador. As the smallest country in Central America, El Salvador is at the same time the most densely populated, mostly industrialized, but also one of the most violent states whose children suffer from poverty and natural disasters. Many children do not get the chance to attend school for financial or geographical reasons.
We want to increase the educational opportunities of El Salvador's children with our donations. We plant sunflowers to sell them profitably at the Spandau weekly market. Our 7th classes also support the project by painting the flowerpots. The 3.00 € per flower goes to our partner organization, which forwards the proceeds to Atiquizaya, thereby financing school fees and school supplies.
You are welcome to support our project with a donation.

Educational trip to the springs of the Acheron River

In April, our Erasmus team organised an educational trip to the springs of the Acheron River (the mythic water path to Hades), in the context of the Physical Education course. The students had the opportunity to navigate near the springs, to test their archery and trampoline skills and to do rafting along the river. With the help of the wonderful weather conditions, the students and teachers enjoyed the natural beauty of the landscape and the calm waters of the Acheron river. This way, we served Goal 3: Good Health and Well-being, as well as Goal 4: Quality education.

Educational visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art "Theodoros Papagiannis"

Ιn April 2019, our students had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Contemporary Art "Theodoros Papagiannis" and to be guided by the sculptor  himself at his premises. The artist referred to the making of the exhibits by "useless" or recyclable materials, but also to his inspiration through his personal experience. Then, he responded to the mini-interview the students have prepared and proved his care of the protection and upgrading of the natural environment as well as the conservation of the local cultural heritage. We mainly served Goal 12: Responsible Production and Consumption and also Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

New ping-pong tables

To achieve goal 3 “Good Health and Well-Being” our school has two new ping-pong tables. These tables will be used by Physical Education as part of its syllabus and during the break students can also enjoy and be active playing ping-pong.

We must offer a quality education to our pupils, creating and affective climate environment where students can be active, cooperate, collaborate, help and respect each other.

Exhibition of our Erasmus + Project: "Agenda 2030: That's our challenge!"

From 3rd May to 1st June 2019 at the Alaquàs' Castle.

In this exhibition, the IES Clara Campoamor presents the work done, together with our partner schools from Italy, Germany and Greece, within the Erasmus + Project: "Agenda 2030: That's our challenge!".

The main objective of the project has been to educate our students as citizens aware of the needs of society, so that they became active citizens.

To achieve this aim, we have to change our method of work and use active teaching methodologies, educating in competences and skills that allowed our students to analyze the problems that our society faces and then act to improve them.

All the schools have worked on the 17 Objectives of the 2030 Agenda, but each school has worked, in particular, objectives linked to its environment or characteristics of the school. In Alaquàs, we have worked objectives 3 (Good health and well-being) and 14 (Life below water).

The exhibition shows the activities carried out by our students in the last 2 years.
