We have photos of every team member. Altogether we are five members (two from Switzerland, two from Turkey and one from Bosnia). As soon as we need to publish them, we can upload them from our mobile phone. In this post, we don’t upload them for data volume reasons.
We finally have all the pictures we need (we have added some examples below). We have saved the pictures on our mobile phones in a special album, so that we can use them at any time for the publication on dontwastemyenergy. Interviews and voice recordings to follow.
State of the art: We're probably at a 6 or 7. We've already had 2 meetings with our collaboration partners, where we talked, got to know each other and discussed a lot. Now it should be clear to everyone who has to do what.
Changes:
- weekly meetings will not be necessary. We only want to meet when there are things to discuss.
- in addition, Emina will take care of the exchange with Bosnia and Sandrina with Turkey. We find it easier this way, as we sometimes have issues that don't affect both countries. Of course we will inform each other about the exchange.
New:
- We have agreed on a deadline for the photos, at the latest after the sports holidays, on Friday, March 4th, 2022 we want to have photo material. Emina will take care of material coming from Bosnia and Sandrina from Turkey. Also remember them of our deadline we agreed if necessary. And until that date we will also take care of pictures from Switzerland.
- We will still compile questions that we will answer ourselves (Switzerland) and let our collaboration partners (Bosnia and Turkey) answer. Possibly we can also collect audio material with it and otherwise just record it in writing.
Difficulties:
- since we are related and/or well-known, we do not want to rush them to deliver material, but we must also move forward. So we need patience.
- we also have a lot of school things and other things to do, even if we would prefer to only work on this project
Positive:
- we get along well, it's fun
- because we know them, it's cozy and not weird
- they are great sources of information for us and once we get material we have a lot of useful and truthful stuff
The terrible truth behind tap water
Hello everyone
Everyday we use tap water. it doesn't involve any effort and nothing special for us, we just use it. But what about people in other countries? For many it is much more than normal to have good tap water. Tap water there is expensive, not existing, dirty, difficult to find or even poisons you. But all above, tap water ist necessary for survival. Precisely because of that, wwe made tap water our project.
If you want to know more about our project then have fun with the following video:

And if you want to test your knowledge about tap water and help us with our project then fill out the following survey:

Thank you!

A) Goals: Today we want to improve our survey, test it and finally release it. Also we want to do
task 10.
Emina: will take care of the survey
Sandrina: will take care of task 10
Collaboration progress: We keep having meetings, but still no material. We we will be looking for it soon.
Project bubbles before:
- Survey (9/10, soon be released)
- C-project tasks (9/10, every task is done except task 10)
- Media-material collection (0/10, we don't have anything so far)
- Add/post everything on the horse (10/10, everything is up to date)
B) Achieved:
Finally, the survey is ready and we can spread it. However, since it took quite a lot of time, and we both had to work on it, we could only start with task 10. But this isn't that bad, because we will rework everything on the next time to be able to continue working according to plan.
Project bubbles after:
- Survey (10/10, released, in circulation)
- C-project tasks (8/10, task 10 and 12 are homework for us)
- Media-material collection (0/10, still don't have anything)
- Add/post everything on the horse (10/10, everything is up to date)
As you can see from our previous post (Task 8, THE EXPERIENCE), we have a lot of ideas on how to get media material. The survey is now in circulation. Audio and images etc. are in process.
On January 25, 2022, we had our first meeting with our collaboration partners. A first exchange took placde. We got to know each other better and talked about a few things. But we don't have any material from them yet , but no we meet regularly so we can work on the material. As soon as we have more material we will post it on the horse.
Our topic is about transport. There are many ways of transport. The most important one is the transport by sea, it covers up almost 50% of crude oil and 80% of global merchandise. As a result there are also many problems such as pollutants and noise.
How can you get rid of these problems and are they opportunities to improve transport overall to make it more eco-friendly?
Quiz question: What source for transport can be used at sea (only one is correct)
- wind power
- heat
- pedals
Vocabulary:
global merchandise = alle Güter der Welt
pollutants = Schadstoffe

We have now defined all the basics roughly as you can see from our previous posts, to build on them. We are aware of which research questions are at the center, what we want to determine and investigate and with which methods we will use. We also know which collaboration partners we are going to work with. We have selected some websites that serve as sources of information.
However, we don't have many results yet. But since the basics are in place, we will develop more and more valuable insights step by step. We have already prepared a survey that still has to be approved by our teacher. Once it's approved, we'll have as many people as possible answer it, which will give us a lot of answers and results quickly. We can turn the results of the survey in diagramms and tables. We are also planning intervies with our collaboration partners, which will surely provide us with text or maybe even audio. We want to take pictures ourselves in switzerland and ask our collaboration partners if they can also take and send some pictures.
These many results (and hopefully many more that we can still work out and consider) help us to create a succesful project.
Our meetings will most likely take place on Tuesday or Friday evening, the exact time has yet to be agreed. Since Bosnia does not have and Turkey only 2 hours time difference, it will be easier to find an appointment. While talking to each other and exchanging information, we would like to see each other, which is why we want to try our first meeting via whatsapp. Emina will contact her relatives in Bosnia and I will contact my acquaintances in Turkey and we will fix an appointment with them.
The goal of the first meeting is a first mutual getting to know each other and we want cleary explain our project. If there's enough time we would like to say and hear what everyone is expecting and how we can reach that step by step. In the upcoming meetings we will then look at everything more precisely and discuss what the further steps are, what changed since the last meeting etc.
