Berliner Tafel - Goal 2

Last week we visited the head quarters and warehouse of „Berliner Tafel“, the organization we presented on the mobility in Italy. It was really interesting to see how the food bank works. At first, we watched a video about the foundation of Berliner Tafel and then they explained us, why the food bank is so important in Berlin. Everybody in Berlin, who doesn’t have enough money to buy food, for example students, homeless people or single parents, can go there and get fresh food for just 1-2€. Mostly, they „sell“ vegetables, fruits and bread. They get the food from supermarkets, which would normally throw it away. The Berliner Tafel saves the food, brings it to the warehouse and checks if it’s still eatable. Then they distribute it to all the 45 stores in the city. In that way they work very sustainable, since they produce less rubbish (SDG 12) and fight against hunger (SDG 2). We thinks it’s great, that most people at Berliner Tafel work voluntarily. Probably some of us also want to help there one day.

AN EDUCATIONAL VISIT TO THE COMPANY D&A LABEL A.E.

The Erasmus+ team made a particularly interesting educational visit to the innovative label company D&A LABEL A.E..
With the informative guided tour of the owner of the company, students had the opportunity to get to know the design and promotion of a multimodal object, the label of a product, in terms of its aesthetic and functional value.
They also noticed the development of production and printing technology from the traditional to its modern digital format. The company executives printed our own Agenda 2030 logos and offered them to us, as well as prepared a mini reception for our sake, during which the students asked questions in the form of an interview to the owner of the company.
The whole process proved to be beneficial, creative and enjoyable, while at the same time it served Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

Repair Café

Make new from old - is the motto of the new CSO Repair Café - a garage, where students and teachers repair bikes. Instead of throwing old bikes that don’t work anymore, we try to use every piece of them and reuse them to repair other bikes. Those old bikes we get regularly from our local police station. Normally, we don’t have to pay a lot for the spare parts. And this way, we can fix bikes of our customers in a cheap and sustainable way. Of course, not all parts of old bikes can be used as spare parts. So we also have a small storage of new parts. Nevertheless, it’s much more affordable than in a normal bike shop. Moreover, our students learn a lot about how to maintain and repair bikes. This is pretty cool, since in summer a lot of people love driving their bike. By the way, most of the students in the Repair Café are from the „Welcome Class“, which means they just moved to Germany a few month ago and still have to learn German before visiting „regular classes“. Luckily, you don’t need a lot of language to act sustainable. We are really happy to have this working group, helping us with our bikes!

Teaching visit to the innovative company NIKI-MEPE Digital Engineering

Οur school and especially our Erasmus+ team visited the innovative company “NIKI-MEPE Digital Engineering”, at the University of Ioannina Technological Park. The students had the opportunity to get to know the executives and structures of this company, as well as to be informed about their achievements in the field of Scientific Technology, Industrial Design, Energy, Biomedicine and New Technologies. During the discussion, views were expressed on the use of technology by man over the years, as well as on modern policies of sustainable development for the benefit of humanity. Thus, we served Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, as well as Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
