By implementing the project "Environmental education through innovative development of our own cosmetic products - zero loss in production, completely waste-free", we achieved several goals, for the benefit of students, teachers and the educational process of the school. After a management meeting, the coordinator and project partner specified individual tasks within the entire project. The main goal was to develop critical and creative thinking of students through professional lectures and excursions on the topics: environmental science, recycling, zero loss in the production of cosmetics, confrontation of chemicals with biological raw materials. The second goal of our project was to implement an educational and experiential workshop within the project week at the CEREDU project partner’s in the Federal Republic of Germany. We achieved: development of environmental competencies of our school students, production of cosmetics from biological raw materials, production of aesthetic containers and soap dishes, successes from project weeks in Bayreuth at the project partner’s, as well as other activities such as excursions, lectures and successful dissemination of the project on ERASMUS DAY, and on the Open Day of our school.
The project coordinator, Súkromná stredná odborná škola s vyučovacím jazykom maďarským – Magyar Tannyelvű Magán Szakközépiskola, Neratovické nám. 1916/16, Dunajská Streda, is constantly looking for opportunities to participate in domestic and international projects, within which it can provide for students and teachers of the school opportunities for cooperation with institutions, opportunities to travel abroad in order to expand theoretical knowledge and practical skills, and opportunities for further education in the field of study. As part of the planning of activities we provided opportunities for education in the form of project weeks in a foreign country for those students who come from socially disadvantaged families. The topic of environmental science plays one of the priority tasks in our institution, i.e. environmental protection, recycling, and the fight against addictive substances are also incorporated into our educational programs. In both school and extracurricular educational activities, our students, under the guidance of teachers, participated in workshops and organized volunteer activities.This concept was incorporated into the project.
