Activiteit/evenement

The idea was first conceived by Green Team students during the SY 2021-2022 as a response to the lack of green / fresh produce on campus. Then building it got underway with our facilities manager Jan during the 2022-2023 school year, with completion early on the 2023-2024 school year.

• Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: We held a workshop for this at a recent DISS sustainability conference in Maastricht. As a fairly complex project, adult volunteers are essential, as our tools, resources, and of course…a plan. We are happy to share our experience with fellow schools.
• Onderwijstype: Voortgezet onderwijs
• Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: The hydroponics system is probably our most ambitious, and certainly the most technical project that the RISS Green Team has undertaken. And it works! It also adds much needed aesthetics to our greenhouse.

This was organised by the charity, Together International, and our PTA (Parent Teacher Association).

• Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: Communication in advance and allow for voluntary participation.

The activity was organised by our Eco-Planet Team. Once our slogan, 'There's No Planet B!' was chosen, we set a poster competition for the whole school. Posters received early in the process were displayed in a central position for all children to see. After all posters were received, the Eco-Planet Team voted on their favourite poster through a points system: all members were given 5 stickers. They put their stickers on their five favourite posters. Once all stickers had been placed, we chose a winner.

• Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: Find as many ways possible to involve all children in the school.
• Onderwijstype: Basisonderwijs
• Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: Whole-school involvement. Attitude of Eco-Planet Team in setting up criteria for voting: clarity of work, showing our slogan, creativity, use of colours/textures.
• School: European School of The Hague Primary School

• Welke tips wil je andere Eco-teams geven bij het organiseren van een activiteit/evenement?: Bekijk en benader een Heempark/Heemtuin in de buurt, zodat je inheemse wilde flora en fauna kunt laten zien aan de leerlingen. Lekker naar buiten, weer of geen weer!
• Onderwijstype: Basisonderwijs
• Waarom zijn jullie hier trots op?: Dat we met de leerlingen naar buiten gaan, de echte natuur in om zelf te ervaren wat daar allemaal te zien is. Veel kinderen zijn dit niet gewend en daarom is het goed dat een school dat doet.
