Nordplus project Sustainability: Global Problems and Local Solutions. Students’ conference in Denmark Odsherred, 7-12 April 2024: Sustainable Food Production. Day 1

 

Monday the 8th of April (day 1)

All the students and teachers met at the school (Odsherreds Gymnasium) for an introduction to the conference.

The students’ homework - the creation of a sustainable meal - was presented. The students from the three countries had chosen to make video presentations of their meals, and it was interesting to watch how the students had chosen to present their work. Both seriousness and a sense of humour were part of the presentations.



After lunch, we went for a hike on the path of the Unesco Global GeoPark Odsherred. This path took us by historic monuments and great views. One of the places we went by was Esterhøj, one of the landmarks of Odsherred. Via an app, the students could get a sense of how the landscape has evolved since the Ice Age.

Presentations about Sustainability in Haapsalu Presentations about our field trips Photos and videos On the fourth day, we were separated into teams and had three workshops at school. The first workshop was preparing to present our case on whether Haapsalu is a sustainable town. Later, we made presentations about the second day's Adventures in the Silma educational center and the third day's field trip to Veskijärve-Nõva-Peraküla. The presentations had to include information about what we got to know and did there during these days. In the second workshop, each team had to present both of their presentations. Finally, in the third workshop, we made Instagram reels from the pictures we had taken throughout the conference. In the evening we had a final party in the school's cellar. We ate pizza and pretzels and played a few group games: Kahoot, hide-and-seek, and the chair game.
