In October 2019, three eleventh-graders and their teachers will work together with their Brazilian hosts on an environmental project on “Waste avoidance, waste recycling and resource use” as part of a school partnership with the “Colégio Farroupilha”, which is currently being established.
The first meeting of the two partner schools took place at the end of August, when 6 pupils and teachers of the “Colégio Farroupilha” from Porto Alegre were guests at the ecolea. Even then, the project participants were mainly concerned with environmental issues. For example, the German-Brazilian group visited the Vattenfall substitute fuel cogeneration plant in Rostock’s overseas port, the Veolia waste incineration plant and the “Alles Paletti” up-cycling hotel in Rövershagen. All around, the girls and teachers had a lot of fun and a great time together.
As part of the Erasmus programme, ecolea Rostock has been maintaining a regular exchange with schools in other European countries for many years. Since 2019, with the support of various institutions, it has been working to establish school partnerships with the global South. The international project “Environmental Education and Resource Utilization” between Brazil and Germany aims to create a network of up-cycling courses in German and Brazilian schools and ultimately establish a functioning school partnership. With the visit of the Brazilians to Rostock at the beginning of the school year and the return visit of our pupils and teachers in October, the first partnership has become concrete.
The cooperation is financed by the development policy school exchange programme “Engagement Global” (ENSA) of the Federal Ministry for Development Cooperation.
