Project in 3rd and 4th ESO: THE IMPACT OF FAST FASHION ON THE ENVIRONMENT

For a couple of weeks, our students from 3^rd and 4^th ESO have been learning and talking about different aspects related to the fashion industry, like the impact on workers and the environment. They have been involved in different activities like defining “fast fashion”, analysing where their clothes come from or reflecting upon the environmental consequences and the human resources that are needed to create garments, and they have created posters to raise awareness about the environmental impact of the fashion industry. This way they have reflected upon the need to take personal responsibility when buying clothes, the effects of over-consumption, the easy changes we can make to be sustainable and the urge to improve safety and working conditions in the fashion industry. Here are some examples of their works:

This year, among many other activities, our youngest students wrote these original Book Reports with the books they had read for the 3rd term. Then we displayed them in our entrance hall.

Many students prepared an oral presentation of their books too, which encouraged other classmates to read another book.

Many students also prepared oral presentations about these books, which encouraged other classmates to read another book

                                                                                   DRAMA WORKSHOPS

Our 3rd of ESO students took part in very enjoyable drama workshops last April 4th. The workshops revolved around Romeo and Juliet, which most of them had already read. After a brief cultural and literary introduction, students could act out selected parts of the play following very clear directions. The activity turned out to be so good we will be doing it again with 2nd of ESO soon. 

WOMEN´S DAY PROJECT

 During March and April different students from 2º ESO C, D and  E,  created an Art Project about Women´s Day .

First of all,  they worked in groups of two students, girls  and boys creating posters with several art techniques.

Secondly, every group  drew  different portraits of crucial  women from several professions throughout  History. Besides they wrote a slogan about women´s life .

Finally, students decorated various places around our school. 

Undoubtedly, it was a wonderful experience for everyone!

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY

 As part of our bilingual common project, Some 1st of ESO Section groups carried out plenty of activities on occasion of International Women's Day on March 8th. They worked on this topic from different perspectives, trying to promote their critical thinking at all times. They read a text about Malala Yousafzai, watched videos, listened to a song, held debates...  .Eventually, they created projects that they presented orally in their classes and then were used to decorate their classrooms.

                

                                                                                  

                                                                                               

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

 

ART PROJECTS 4ºESO

 The 4th ESO students have created a series of murals about artists from the 19th and 20th centuries, where they have worked on their biography, artistic style and main works. All this has been exposed in the hall of the secondary school.

Fast Fashion Project 3º ESO D

Environmental issues such as pollution, overconsumption, and emissions of toxic gasses have become more and more serious as each year passes. One of the most prevalent reasons for these events are the production, consumption, and waste of clothing.  We as a society have become more aware of the toll that the fashion industry as a whole takes on the environment over the last 10 years. So why is the problem only getting worse? 

The aim of this final project is to present what we know about the fashion industry’s effects on our environment, and start discussions about ways that we as individuals can take action to mitigate these effects.
