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.

Seven students, one student and two teachers from Choglamsar in the region of Ladakh in India were guests at the Großer Stadtschule Geschwister-Scholl-Gymnasium in Wismar in 2019. They were accommodated with host families and thus got to know the culture and life in M-V. Next year the return visit of the Wismar pupils* will follow. But it is not just a matter of spreading friendships across the globe. In concrete terms, the pupils work on the topic of “world nutrition” by looking beyond the proverbial edge of the plate and at the same time from the perspective of the respective culture. Who eats what, how can the world be fed sustainably and fairly?

The Tanzania Project of the Gymnasium is a school partnership with the Primary and Secondary School in Msuka, a town on the island of Pemba, north of Zanzibar. Politically the island belongs to Tanzania. In this school there is a very committed teacher, through whom the partnership was created. In the meantime, the whole village has joined in. The project has been running for four years. In 2019, 11 pupils of the 11th grade travelled to Pemba. A little later the return visit of the Tanzanian pupils took place in M-V. These mutual encounter trips were supported by ENSA, NUE and the KED, among others, and were accompanied by the association Sisi Pamoja in terms of content and personally.

Who are we?
We are students from the 9th and 10th grade of the Richard-Wossidlo-Gymnasium in Damgarten.

What are the aims of the Malawi project?
One goal is to promote the personal and professional development of girls and women in East Africa. We also support schools by renewing them, improving them and creating new technical possibilities, such as new computer rooms.

How will we help the project?
We want to support it with funds collected through a fundraising run, sales of calendars, cakes, etc..

We want to build a school partnership with St. Monica Lodwar Girls Day & Boarding Primary School. The members of the course “School International” have been in contact with the African schoolgirls by e-mail since 2018. This should be the first step on the way to a school partnership.
