“ A BOTTLE FOR A PLANT “ PROJECT
• In the second term of the school year 2011/2012 we started with a preventive program “A bottle for a Plant”, aimed at landscaping the school area, buying plants for the school and the care about the same
• USERS : all students of elementary school Banija ( classes 1 to 8 ) together with their teachers and all the technical staff.
MAIN GOAL :
• The area in which a student resides should install confidence and safety in order to develop their competence and resistance to a risk factors.
THE STEPS OF OUR PROJECT GROWTH
• our superintendent made a “pencil bin” at the school entrance so that students, parents, teachers and others who visit the school could dispose their plastic bottles
• In this way we reduce the litter that we had previously found more frequently in the corridors and around the school.
• collected bottles are sold by students in higher grades to raise money.
• we use that money to buy potted plants, soil, pots and all that is necessary for that purpose.
• each class was given a single potted plant that had their name pointed out on a label and the class was supposed to take care of it.
• besides bying plants, the program aims at raising awernes of the importance of plants in our environment and the importance of our care of them.
• each class, in agreement with their class teacher, made a poster to inform other students in the school of their plant.
• the main pedagogical objective is to create an environment of tolerance and nonviolence, the respect of other people`s work and effort in taking care of the area in wich students reside
• the project fosters an atmosphere of togetherness in a way that everyone involved in the process acquires a sense of community through involment in the process of growth, development and commitment to eventualy creating the school as a safe place where there is less violence, destruction, and more respect, understanding, tolerance and trust
