"Intermission" Coversation about Climate Change

Inspiring English conversation about Climate Change with the lead of the young Oulu University students Sara, Gautier and Iisakki. Our second-year students participated and voiced their opinions actively. They found the topic very important, too. 

This is the kind of university co-operation we need to practice more! 😊👍

Climate Change in High Schools!

Laanila High School's Green Flag, UNESCO and Erasmus+ teachers and students are active members of the "Climate Change in High Schools!" project that empowers around 200 teachers and more than 4 000 students in the high schools of Northern Ostrobothnia to take climate action. 

https://www.ilmastonmuutoslukioihin.fi/ilmastonmuutos-lukioihin/in-english/

During the project, our plan is to:

Develop the action of the climate network created in the area, make concrete climate actions and spread the word of sustainability.

Help build courses that will teach our students to affect their climate choices with the right kind of knowledge and attitudes. 

Update our knowledge on climate change and help improve teaching materials. 

Learn more from the universities and the universities of applied sciences.

Help implement and offer climate studies in our own high school.

From talk to action!

Christmas Carols and Eco Gifts for the Nearby Senior Citizens

In November 2019 Laanila High School's Green Flag, UNESCO and Erasmus+ students got together for a Recycling Crafts Workshop. The group collected old books, leftover wooden pearls, cardboard, string, felt and luminous badges to prepare little Christmas gifts for our senior citizen friends at Metsolan Hovi Old People's House across the road.

A week after it was time for Christmas Carols with the nearby senior citizens. Several songs were sang and accompanied by our young Laanila pianist Seela. Our French speaking Santa Claus 😜 gave out the handmade paper angels and x-mas cards and the house was filled with appreciative smiles and chit-chat on both sides. We will surely visit the Metsola seniors soon again!
