GEN Honors Romanian National Highschool of Arts Queen Marie
Printable Version
Green Education Network has awarded a Certificate of Honor to the National Highschool of Arts Queen Marie in Constanta, Romania for it’s several completed environmental projects. The projects are part of a months-long international campaign in which the school is involved. Below we share the videos documenting their efforts because it may do your heart good — like it did ours — to hear the voices of students speaking a non-English language we do not understand, while speaking another language we do understand: Learning and acting together — via acts great and small, no matter our age or means or skills or nation of birth — we can save planet earth’s climate, resources and life. Today there is a tree in Costanta Romania that will grow, and years hence a child will stand beneath its canopy of leaves.

Hi! Nice site you got there!
Our project obtained second price in the campaign CO2nnect! (www.co2nnect.org)
Second prize: Colegiul National de Arte Constanta – Regina Maria, Constanta, Romania
The jury of the International CO2nnect Competition would like to award second place in the Primary and Lower Secondary School Category to Colegiul National de Arte – Regina Maria, Constanta.
“The jury was impressed by the extent and variety of the activities undertaken as part of their campaign and the engagement of the pupils themselves. It was especially interesting to read about the high level of media involvement and the way the pupils communicated with others through a variety of methods such as posters, badges, an expo and a You Tube broadcast. The high level of pupil innovation and enthusiasm came through in the report and was shown by activities ranging from designing a “taxi-bike” to meetings with partners outside the school. It was interesting to read about the pupils’ work outside school, for example by talking to taxi drivers and others about their CO2 emissions and how to drive in a way that minimized emissions. The jury also wishes to commend the cross-curricular approach used and the fact that they networked and cooperated with other schools, both in the nearby region and through eTwinning.”
We are very proud…and the price is a trip to Norway!!!
