The busy bee in the schoolyard – an ecological project at Yachay School

There is a busy bee at our school since June. The Peruvian Ministry of Education stipulates that integrative education projects are to be carried out at all schools. Each school can choose and design the project itself. The student council, elected by the student body, decided on an environmental project in collaboration with the two parent-teacher groups responsible for education and well-being at the school.

The project was planned, designed and implemented together. The beehive in the schoolyard is a visible symbol of this. Pupils, parents and teachers are now diligently collecting plastic bottles. Families and neighbors are thus made aware of the need to treat their environment with care.

The student council has created a short promotional video:

This is how the collaborative process works: collecting – sorting – harvesting
