Class Project Day: Class 8a Ensured a “Clean Walk to School”

On class project day, students regularly engage in activities outside of school. The goal is to experience life “out there,” and often there are specific tasks the students set for themselves. It’s not uncommon for these to involve social service. Class 8a, for example, recently dedicated itself to serving the community. Teacher Gisela Opper reports:

On the class project day, after having breakfast together, Class 8a took part in the “Cleaner Way to School” campaign. Some students had explored the topics of “plastic waste in water” and “waste prevention” as part of their water-related project, so participating in this campaign was a natural fit. Equipped by the DBM with trash grabbers, trash bags, and gloves as needed, they walked from the Steinmühle to the Südbahnhof. Along the way, they eagerly collected paper, various types of packaging, bottles, cans, bottle caps, hundreds of discarded cigarette butts, and all sorts of unidentifiable items. “A cool activity—we could do this again, maybe with the whole school,” was one comment. The plan to walk all the way to Rudolfsplatz was abandoned due to time constraints and the intense heat. This allowed some students to take a well-deserved dip in the cool water at the lake afterward.
