September 25th 2023

The first day of the third mobility of the "Think globally, act locally" project was spent in the first of the two school buildings that make Städtische Gesamtschule Iserlohn, Gerlingsen. After introductory breaking the ice activities, there was a tour around the school and the school garden. The host school orcestra  prepared a concert that delighted us.

In the afternoon students had a task to design a menu which is made by organic ingredients. They had to look for recipes, buy  the ingredients at local market and prepare the planned meals. We ended our day with a joint dinner of prepared dishes.

The second day of the mobility started by exploring the sights of the city through assigned tasks prepared by the host students. After a short rest and lunch together, we headed towards another facility of the Städtische Gesamtschule Iserlohn, Nussberg where students presented the school and took us through its premises.

The third day we went on a trip to the city of Münster. In the morning we visited the Museum of Natural History where we got to know all the departments. The most attractive content was the interactive one. Passing through the city, we noticed a lot of greenery, numerous cyclists, as well as electric buses, which certainly confirm that the city operates according to ecological principles. In the afternoon we headed to the zoo. By walking through its gardens, we had the opportunity to see many exotic and endangered species.

The last day of the third mobility of the "Think globally, act locally" project at the Städtische Gesamtschule Iserlohn, the students, divided into three international groups, worked on different tasks and presented their results to the other participants at the end of the activity. One group had the task of researching the differences between the climates of the participating countries, the observed changes over the past fifty years, and possible disasters that threaten them in the future. The second group created a weather station while the third group learned about the methods and importance of composting by arranging the school garden. After a short break, the students observed one of the most important participants in composting, the earthworm, through a microscope, and once again became aware of the importance of each organism in the life cycle.

In the afternoon, we went on foot to the Danzturm, a lookout point with a view of the city, where we ended our meeting with the awarding of certificates and a joint lunch.
