03.04.2025. From 31 March to 3 April 2025, a special Erasmus+ project week took place at our school with students from the ZSE in Krakow, Poland. Under the title ‘Can We Build Up a European Eco Society?’, the participants focussed intensively on the challenges of climate change and the role of individuals and entire societies in the fight against environmental threats.
Exciting workshops and discussions were on the programme during the week. A particular focus was on sharing possible solutions for a more sustainable future in Europe. The students developed ideas for a more environmentally friendly society and actively addressed the question of how Europe can act together in a more ecologically sustainable way.
A highlight of the week was the very exciting presentation by Victor Smetacek on carbon capture strategies with algae moulds. Mr Smetacek, Professor Emeritus at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI), gave fascinating insights into his research work and discussed the potential of these technologies for climate protection with the participants.
In addition to the content-related work, there was also time to explore Bremerhaven. A special experience was the guided tour of the city by pupils from Bremerhaven, who showed their guests the sights and history of the city with great commitment. The programme also included a visit to the Klimahaus and a tour on the harbour bus.
The project week was an inspiring experience for everyone involved and raised awareness of ecological issues. We would like to thank our Polish friends for the enriching time and look forward to many more project weeks together!
