From garbage to garden
The idea is to work on the garbage from the school canteen and find solutions to reduce or recycle it. Pupils have to make their own garden in town, from recycled items and compost from vegetal garbage. They have to be creative and make an original garden, working on arts (literature, visual arts).

Show me around
Pupils get to know different cultures and different lifestyles of their peers living in another country. Pupils introduce themselves in an acrostic poem (“I am” poem), create a family tree, present their family and friends and illustrate their room/house/flat/town/area.
