sweat money - our project

The idea behind our project is to look for sponsors who are willing to donate a certain sum of money for every 100 calories we will burn in our training sessions over the course of four weeks. We will donate the money we collect to an environmentally friendly organization called "Friends of the Earth International". This way we will be able to link environment, sports and finances.

sweat money - progress

Every project has ups und downs. - Of course, Of course, this also applies to our project!
When we started our project we were full of enthusiasm, but then we realised that it is very hard to find sponsors willing to donate money to a project still in the making. Fortunately, we were given the chance to meet Valeria Vezar, a sports student from Chur,  who has already completely many projects successfully. Her suggestion was to sign in in "I believe in you", a big community that helps sports people to find financial help in order to achieve their dreams, aims or projects. An excellent option - but not for us - unfortunately! At the moment we do not have the time to start such a big project, because we have to study a lot for our exams and we have to train hard. So we talked to her and came to the conclusion that it was better to burn calories and turn them into fictitious money. She and her friend from Brasil, a professional surfer, were  willing to help us in "sweating money". Our team also included several students from our class. This was a perfect mix. Our sports weeks were not rich in events, even though we burnt a lot of calories with our great team!

sweat money - short intro

How can you connect environment with sports? This question was the start of our project!
Sport is a big passion of us, so we were looking forward to launch a sport project. But the combination of this two subjects was a little bit difficult. After we brainstormed for a long time, the idea flew into our heads. - How about burning calories for the environment?

update 18.03.2022

 

Schweissperlen, schon ca. 10'000 Kalorien und viele Sportstunden - die erste Sportwoche ist bereits passé!

Nebst dem vielen Sport, haben wir auch noch ein E-Mail an das ganze Schulhaus versandt. Wir hoffen, dass wir auf diesem Wege einige Mitstreiter finden werden.

Heute werden wir noch Gabriel und Valeria schreiben, damit sie uns ihre Kalorien der ersten Woche mitteilen und wir unsere Erfahrungen der ersten Woche austauschen können.
