Students organized air pollution lessons and activities, where they introduced the relevance of the topic to their two parallel classes. On April 24th, a total of 46 students from the parallel classes received guidance from the young climate scientists. The 1st-grade climate activist students were very happy and enthusiastic about organizing the lessons and are planning to conduct more climate-related lessons for their peers. 

In order to raise climate awareness among preschool children, students from Learning Group 1 organized two climate-themed lessons specifically for them.

In these sessions, the students from 1 grade acted as teachers and led activities related to air pollution as part of a Climate Day. 

In addition to organizing climate lessons for their peers and younger students, the students also introduced climate actions and the importance of protecting the climate to visiting guest groups at the school. 

The 5th study group piloted the topic of climate anxiety. First, they researched the topic and activities within their own study group, and then presented the topic to three parallel classes (68 students + teachers). Pre- and post-questionnaires were also conducted, which showed that their peers' awareness of climate issues had increased. 

To kick off the topic of recycling, the children in the 2nd study group explored the subject using elements of a thinking classroom.
Old flower pots were given new life with fresh seeds. The 2nd study groups also organized a swap market for all parallel groups. Students had the opportunity to sort through their old toys and belongings at home and bring items they no longer needed for trading.
No money was involved — only item for item. Still, having good bargaining skills came in handy.

The topic of ecological literacy was interesting for the 3rd study groups and also rich in new terms and knowledge. The most popular activities were the STEAM tasks and analyzing newspaper articles. 

Elit Grup Koleji, organized a special activity on the theme of “Extinctions” with primary school students. The aim of the activity was to raise environmental awareness, foster sensitivity towards nature, and highlight the importance of protecting endangered species. The activity began with a pre-activity survey to assess students' existing knowledge on the topic. Through this survey, students shared their initial ideas and understanding about endangered animals. Following the survey, our teachers conducted informative presentations about endangered species. Students engaged with educational videos, explored visual materials, and learned in detail about various animal species and their natural habitats. During group activities, they discussed possible actions to protect these species.

In the hands-on phase, students creatively expressed what they had learned by preparing drawings, posters, and wall displays. To measure the effectiveness of the activity, a post-survey was conducted. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ understanding—many students who had initially answered incorrectly were able to respond accurately after the activity, demonstrating its strong educational impact.

Through this event, our students took an important step towards becoming more environmentally conscious individuals who care deeply about nature, animals, and the planet.

As part of our Erasmus+ project, Elit Grup Koleji successfully hosted a “Seed Awareness” topic days event aimed at helping students better understand the vital role of seeds in nature, their life cycle, and their importance for sustainability.

The event began with a pre-survey to assess students’ prior knowledge about seeds. The results showed that while many students were familiar with basic ideas, there were clear gaps in their understanding—especially regarding how seeds grow into plants, the function of roots, and how climate change can affect plant development.

Throughout the event, students took part in a range of interactive, hands-on activities, including story reading, creative writing, drama, games, guided observations, and simple experiments. These activities allowed students to explore how seeds sprout and grow when provided with the right conditions, such as sunlight, water, and nutrient-rich soil.

In addition, students examined how climate-related challenges, such as drought and extreme heat, can negatively impact plant growth, encouraging thoughtful discussions about environmental responsibility.

One of the highlights of the event was the “My Seed Bank” project. In this activity, students collected local seeds from their homes, villages, and surrounding areas. Working collaboratively, they categorized, stored, and displayed the seeds, gaining insight into the importance of preserving local and traditional seed varieties. Students also prepared informational cards for each seed type and created posters to share their knowledge with the wider school community.

At the end of the event, a post-survey revealed a significant improvement in students’ understanding of seed-related concepts, plant growth, and the link between nature and sustainable living.

Students of 1st and 2nd grade studied fluctuating temperatures and presented the topic to their parallel classes

During the acquisition of knowledge on the topic of sustainability, the project partner initially explained the subject to the teachers. Then, the teachers conveyed the knowledge to the students, who in turn informed their classmates, kindergarten children, and organized lessons and performances for parents and grandparents. The topic included learning about composting, waste sorting, visiting a packaging center, getting to know medicinal plants, robotics, games, and much more. 

Unusual natural phenomena were studied in various lessons, and then the students presented a science-themed play to their classmates based on what they learned.

To raise awareness about the importance and impact of recycling, the students of Study Group 1 presented a dance show featuring clothes made from recycled materials at the Kindlus School Spring Festival on 04.06.2025, watched by 500 people. Additionally, they introduced project and explained the significance of recycling.
