Climate Action - in Germany and around the World !

Our project week "Climate Change - in Germany and around the World" has now arrived in Berlin-Wedding. For one week, the pupils of class 6c at Andersen Primary School (Andersen Grundschule) learned what climate change is all about - what is the difference between climate and weather, why is the earth getting warmer, where does the CO2 come from that is responsible for the man-made greenhouse effect and how are we already noticing the consequences of climate change? On the first day of the project week, the children explored these exciting questions with great curiosity. They also had a lot of fun with our self-developed game "The greenhouse effect in real life", in which the pupils played the role of CO2 molecules and sun rays and tried to heat up the atmosphere as little as possible.

One of the main aims of the project week was to encourage the children to take action for climate protection themselves. In concrete terms, this meant that during the second half of the project week, the pupils at Andersen Primary School were given the opportunity to develop their own creative digital media to communicate messages about climate change to other children and adults. Everything they had learned over the last few days was brought together in group work and creatively transformed: they drew, crafted, photographed, composed, rapped, painted, wrote stories, developed quizzes, animated and much more. This resulted in a comic that highlights the consequences of climate change in Uganda, a self-composed climate rap, another comic about a climate demonstration and a stop-motion film about meat consumption. The projects were presented and celebrated in a joint final presentation on Friday - a successful project week finally came to an end.
