C-Project Step 1: Collaboration Partners and Project idea

Project Partner: Florian Studer

How will you build a collaboration team across borders & cultures? With whom?
Our idea was to make a survey in Izmir to find out how the enviromental pollution in Turkey is and how big their knowledge about enviroment is. To compare it to Switzerland we also send the survey to students at our school.

 

After that we plan to do a collaboration project with students from Izmir.
Last summer in Turkey were many forest fires and because of that we want to plant some trees over there.
Our goal that we want to reach is to plant at least 10 trees in Ismir 10 trees in Wetzikon in spring.
Firstly we created a mindmap to manifest our project idea:

Our next step is to do a short audio-visual presentation.
We'll keep you updated.
