We did a short interview with one of Emina's relativs. Here is a small cut-out of it.
Unfortunately there were also problems with our project. But since this is not uncommon, we don't allow ourselves to be unsettled and continue with the same enthusiasm. Our struggles:
April 22, 2022: Emina's parents brought tap water from Bosnia, which we want to test in a laboratory so that we can see the difference to Swiss tap water. We are particularly interested in cleanliness. If there is time, we would like to look at the result with the responsible laboratory technician.
April 29, 2022: We sent an email to LaBeCo, the water analysis department in Alberswil, because we couldn't reach them by phone.
May 6, 2022: We have not yet received a response.
May 10, 2022: We are now trying our luck at Eawag (water research institute of the EHT's area) in Dübendorf. We have also sent them an email.
Dies ist eine Luft-Wasser Wärmepumpe. Es wird dabei der Umgebungsluft Wärme entzogen. Ein Ventilator saugt diese Luft aktiv ein und leitet sie an einen Wärmeübertrager weiter. Mit Hilfe von Dampf wird dann Wärme erzeugt.
We received some good news from our collaboration partners - they recently sent us the photo material we needed, as mentioned in our previous posts. The pictures aren't as meaningful as we imagined them to be but atleast we received some footage and we decided to work with those. This is a further step to the publication of our project on the web.
We finished drafting our text for the wordpress and sent it to our english teacher to get it checked/corrected. After we receive our corrected text, we might even add or change paragraphs in our text in order to perfectionize it. Then we will transfer it to dontwastemy.energy, bring it in shape and then hopefully publish it on time.
Task 16 - c-project
This is us!
Collaboration partner one
This is Valeria, the sport student from Chur!
Collaboration partner two
This is Gabriel, the professional surfer from Brazil!
The draft is completed. We only have to get it checkt by the english teacher and transform it.

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.
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!
hello We definitely learned a lot about our topic. We imagined the teamwork to be easier. Since this project is very important to us, we wanted to invest a lot of time and make progress quickly. Bur the project isn't that important for our team memebers, which is why they sometimes needed very lon for answers or pictures etc. Nevertheless, the cooperation was great. We learned a lot of new things about the languages, origins and countries and had good conversations.
We underestimated the situation in other countries. here it is so easy and cheap to get water, in bosnia and turkey it is much more difficult and also more expensive. as you will then read in our finished article, water in these countries is sometimes even dangerous.
But on the whole we assessed the vision & imagination well.
In the lesson of april 1st, 2022 we will ask two people from the class to look at it.
Update:
Vanessa Nauer (Sandrina's sister) and Murisa Murtic (Emina's sister) have rated our text on basis of checklist for dontwastemy.energy. it showed us that we could still name our collabration partners , make a glossary and specify our laboratory request in process. the title should be looked at again.
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.
