On Wednesday the 25th, the 4th graders in P23 were taking part in Ubuntu activities instead of having AGs. The class 4c were preparing flatbread and african pan bread (Afrikanisches Pfannenbrot). It is a great and simple Ubuntu activity because ,well who doesn’t already like food? We tend to forget that food is an expression of cultural identity, it is passed on from generations to generations and serves as a symbol for pride for different ethnicities. Ms.Curtis, who is the teacher that is preparing this activity, additionally showed us the ingredients and products they were going to use to prepare this dish. The primary also decorated a nicely drawn tree with a bunch of Ubuntu cards which were exchanged between students, teachers and parents.

On Thursday, in the primary campus of the Nelson Mandela School, the girls and boys of the 5th and 6th grade got introduced to the topic of sustainability; focusing mainly on ocean waste and what exactly happens to the plastic that we use. Enlight of it being girls day, two women, Natalia and Julia from the “Junge Tüftler” company, who work in the IT branch, taught the students about the different consequences of the mass use of plastic to the ocean and environment. The goal of the activity was to make an interactive poster using information the students searched up. With the IT knowledge of Natalia and Julia the students built the poster with a makey makey, which is a microcontroller that connects a circuit between the poster and a computer, making it interactive.

To kick off the Ubuntu week, the Flex classes of P23 took part in a number of introductory workshops aimed towards building trust and spreading the Ubuntu spirit. These took place instead of regular AGs on the 4th of april between the 9th and 10th periods. It is of great importance to teach moral values such as the Ubuntu spirit at an early age. So alongside many cooperative games and other fun activities, the students did 1-on-1 face portraits where they could really express their creativity and build trust between each other by painting on their partners` faces. The Flex classes also worked together to create a colorful large scale map of Africa, dipping their thumbs in paint and then printing it on the map creating a colorful mosaic.

On the 25th of April 2018, we the class 7b of the Nelson Mandela school decided to go to a Kindergarten and give the children there a day to remember in light of Ubuntu week. We split our class in to five groups, each offering different activities to the children there which also involved them working together. Patience and concentration was definitely called for as things did get out of hand at some points but in the end we can all say it was a fun and memorable experience. Just seeing how much energy roamed in them made us feel old since at some point we were all very tired. This experience definitely left its mark on us all.

Dear all, the 11d is in charge of journaling the Ubuntu Week and we will be giving updates throughout the week. Today (23.04), some of us visited the B24 to see what they have been up to. From specially made notecards representing the spirit of ubuntu (which was exchanged between students) to works of art covering the halls, we are going to be observing the different activities throughout the week and will be getting some interviews from students! Keep up the good work B24!

Tipps für nachhaltigen Konsum

# eigene Wünsche kritisch hinterfragen: Brauche ich wirklich noch mehr Kleidung?

# “Grüne” Mode kaufen, auf Qualität und Textillabel achten Green Closet Directory

# Auf ́s Waschetikett schauen: Angaben wie separat waschen, bügel- und knitterfrei weisen auf

kritischen Chemikalieneinsatz hin

# Second Hand kaufen/verkaufen: in Vintage Shops, auf Kleiderbasaren oder in Online- Kauf- und

Tauschbörsen Mädchen <3 Flohmarkt, Kleiderkreisel, Kleiderei

# Umweltbewusst waschen: Waschmittel genau dosieren, niedrige Waschtemperatur wählen, auf

Trockner und Weichspüler verzichten (oder mal mit Waschkugel?)

# Interessiert dich ein Kleidungsstück und es besitzt kein Siegel lohnt es sich direkt bei den Labels

Nachzufragen (manche kleine Labels arbeiten sehr nachhaltig und können sich nicht immer

die Zertifizierungen leisten), Siegelklarheit.de, GrüneMode.org

# bei Social Design Labels kaufen (z.B. people Berlin http://www.peopledesign.de =

# auf lokale Produktionen achten
