The document summarizes activities from two project meetings held by the GO GREEN, GO CLEAN, ACT NOW! program. It discusses visits to schools in Belgium and Italy, as well as environmental sites in each country. Teaching sessions were held at both schools and a tree was planted at one. Future plans were made, including producing a teacher's book and storybook involving all partner countries. Other ongoing environmental initiatives at schools in Denmark are also described.

May — June 2011
During the last two months of the previous
school year, 2010—2011, we carried out some
more activities. We participated in the Comenius
Week 2011 and
planted some flowers
in the small school
garden.
In May and June we collected a lot of vegetables from our vegetable garden. We made fresh salads
and traditional Greek dishes with our tomatoes, cucumbers, courgettes and aubergines.
At the end of the school year, the students of the 1st grade acted a play, written by their teacher
Mr. Ilias Trontsios, about the endangered species and in June we participated in the Schools‘ Eco
festival in our Educational District.

Project visits to Belgium and Italy 23-26 October 2011
Two new project visits for our “Go Green, Go Clean” people. We, the Italian delegation, enjoyed them so
much and will keep very nice memories in our hearts. In Viversel, Flemish Belgium, we had the pleasure
to show our students’ work on Tuscan’s Islands. By a Power Point presentation we took our pictures and
information on typical plants and animals living there. The Belgian students talked to us and let us know
all they know about Italy and its landmarks, including pasta, pizza and tiramisù! The meeting with teach-
ers, students and community was really enjoyable.

Hi everybody!
Here we are again for another Comenius year!
This is what we have been doing since the school year started in September:
- Teachers‘ meetings in order to organize 2011/2012 activities;
- School website and Comenius corner updating;
- We joined the school‘s English Club and organized a Halloween Parade - ―The most ecological
fancy dress‖. All the costumes were made out of recycled materials and old clothes;
- We accepted a mobile phones company challenge to launch dozens of biodegradable balloons
with environmental messages. We participated with 500 students.
- We finished the environment wordlist and the drawings for the common wordbook;
- We started the ―free garden plots‖ project. We selected the spots, gave them to the inter-
ested classes, wrote letters and e-mails to local institutions to ask for gardening tips, plants

At the beginning of the second

(2011-2012), in our institution
it was necessairy to renew the
team of teachers because many
of them changed their school.
Before that, the coordinator
made a dissemination at the

parents, school administration
and the major of Rediu com-
