The life of cotton clothes

turkica_peterca — 2025-04-28 04:17:33 UTC

Our creative students have whipped up a playful animated cartoon on the lifecycle of clothing using Canva. Spiced up by a brilliantly humorous script written by an Icelandic teacher, this fun project shows that sustainability can be seriously cool, with a dash of wit! It’s fantastic to see schools from different countries unite to celebrate creativity, sustainability, and cross-border collaboration.

Cartoon Craze Unleashed!

turkica_peterca — 2025-04-28 04:22:41 UTC

Once our students dipped their brushes into the world of cartoons, there was no turning back. What began as a playful experiment quickly snowballed into an unstoppable creative marathon, with sketches and animations flowing in faster than you can say "action!" It's a joy to witness such boundless energy and humor in every frame—a true celebration of creative spirit.

Rug Life: T-Shirt Transformations

turkica_peterca — 2025-04-28 04:52:43 UTC

Our brilliant first graders have outdone themselves by turning old t-shirts into fabulous new rugs! Inspired by their teachers' mobility experience in Lithuania, they've taken this crafty skill and woven it into a trend that's spreading both internationally and across generations. Who knew recycling could be so foot-tappingly fun?

turkica_peterca — 2025-04-28 05:39:39 UTC

Just as the forest continually renews its own resources, fashion can also shift towards reuse and recycling models that reduce the impact of fast fashion and keep our forests thriving. All students from grades 1 to 5 celebrated an eco day in the forest, engaging in a variety of fun and sustainable activities.

No more lost clothes!

turkica_peterca — 2025-04-28 06:21:42 UTC

Say goodbye to rogue sweaters and wandering socks—our clothes now come with their very own "home addresses".

Our first graders have taken up the noble mission of crafting custom name tags to ensure their clothes never lose their way again.

We love being creative

To keep everything on point, we prepared a vibrant informational poster and a streamlined timeline guiding our sustainability journey.

Our planet = our responsibility!

On Earth Day, also our older school students rolled up their sleeves (and turned off the taps)🧤🌱
They picked up trash, planted green things, recycled smartly – and proved that young people aren’t the problem, they’re the solution.

Small actions, big impact! 💚
