Drawings and photos exhibition 9 – 22 August

@Verde Cafe



Special School nr.5 .... a special place for us







During 1 month and half our Team Worked in Special School nr. 5 with this wonderful Kids... Our work was to let our kids know about MDG'S, in a funny way, specially about the goal nº 7, Ensure environmental sustainability. In the beginning we started to construct a relation with them, presenting ourselves, and our countries, and differences of culture, but common things too. We chose many ways to teach them, showing maps of Europe, of each country where we came from, and in this way we learned about Romania too. As a method of expression, we used many methods of non formal education, because it is a good way, special with kids. Some games, inside or outside of the class, to put them the conscience of being in a team, were everybody helps. We showed them short films about MDG's, we organised a Treasure Hunt with MDGs for them, we made clothes with garbage, plastic, bags, bottles, for a competition between schools, were they won the first place. In this way they learned that, even the garbage is useful and it can be a wonderful material to work in school and showing them that all of us, are responsible to help, with very simple and small things. To finish our project there, we asked them to make some drawings about MDG'S, and to see what they understood about our work. And this is the result of our work. Our hope now is that they grow up, taking care of this planet, taking care about the others and themselves too.






Photos about MDGs ... a challenge







In the same time with the workshops we did in School nr. 5 we had a workshop made by one of the EVS volunteers, Lorca about the photographic techniques and how to do photos. After the workshop we started brainstorming ideas about how we can express in photos the Millennium Development Goals. The results is here in the Photo Exhibition.



We hope you enjoy the exhibitions!
