Task 8 – the experience

To answer our questions we will conduct various interviews in different Swiss industries. Because until a house is completely built, many people are involved. As soon as we have our answers we will compare them with those of Spain as well as go into more detail.

We hope that we will get the opportunity to visit an enterprise or a current construction site. It would also be exciting to compare two construction sites, one from Switzerland and one from Spain, based on the materials and the progress.

However, we must be careful not to lose sight of our guiding questions. We need to go into more detail and not research too broadly. To make our project a little more exciting we will use different media.

C-Project Task 7: Communication

January 12th  2022

We met on Wednesday evening to discuss the fist steps to our project.

After a short discussion we decided that I will start with the questions for our interview partner Jasmine and Savina will start with some research for the informative part of our work.

In addition to this we discussed about an audio pitch but have not decided yet.

Friday, January 21th 2022

We finished our interview for Jasmine and will ask her the questions until next Friday.
Secondly, we did a short survey for our Swiss people to get as many opinions as possible: https://ee.humanitarianresponse.info/x/FRLhTz3M 
and will look at the answers next week.

If we can, we will ask Mr. Gerber if he wants to be a collaboration partner too because he and his wife were in Cuba and ask him the questions that we prepared for Jasmine.

Friday, January 28th 2022

Today we will evaluate the information we’ve got from Mr. Gerber and Jasmine and think about how we want to  put this into a little project - video or something else…

In addition to this we will write our project Task 8 and publish the survey for the Swiss people.

Task 7; Communication

At the moment we are still in the process of planning our project. In the future we will have contact with our collaboration partners via Zoom and email.

Our collaboration partners are two students from Kerala.

The next step will be a survey with our collaboration partners to get a first impression of the water scarcity in Kerala.

Task 5; Vision & Imagination

Vision:

We want to do a survey with students in Kerala. With the survey we want to find out how the water scarcity is in Kerala. We want to include the results in our project. After that we compare the water scarcity in Kerala with in the canton of Zurich.

We hope that our project will generate emotions in other students and that they will take the issue to heart.

Imagination:

We would be happy if the readers of our project are inspired to join an organisation that deals with the issue.

Task 3; Concept

Concept for water scarcity:

Names of collaboration team members (Who?):

Team from canton of Zurich (Switzerland): Brian & Lara

Team from Kerala (India): 2 students from Kerala (India)

Our research questions:

  • Where does the water in canton of Zurich and Kerala come from?
  • Is there a water scarcity in canton of Zurich and Kerala? If so, how big?
  • What are the main causes of water scarcity in canton of Zurich and Kerala?
  • How do Kerala and canton of Zurich react when they run out of water?
  • Are there any ideas for solutions to the water scarcity in Zurich and Kerala?
  • Where is clean water available Kerala and canton of Zurich?

Where do we find answers to our questions?

  • Exchange with the students from India
  • Research in the internet
  • Exchange with people from our surroundings

Our goal:

We want to show how water scarcity is in Kerala (India) and how it is in Switzerland? We also want to find out how the two villages react when they have no more water.

We want to show how topical the issue of water scarcity is and get other students thinking about it.

Task 3 - concept of your project idea

Project: ecological building

Reason for choosing the project:
We have already completed our 3-year apprenticeship in a construction company. Through this, we were confronted with the topic of building on a daily basis. Our family members are also involved in the construction industry. Their fields of work are in different sectors. So we decided to build on the different levels of knowledge.

What do we want to achieve with this project?
We want to draw attention to ecological building and bring the way closer to the people.
We compare Switzerland with Spain with the help of our collaborations partners. We attach great importance to the statements of our partners and will also base our work on them. We also include a survey.
