IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE!

After a short but good school year, we finished our exams yesterday. We have worked on many different things during the whole year but I'd like to explain something about the project we have been working hard on these last months.

Firstly,we had to focus on a target group and explain how the economical recession affects them. We thought that it would be interesting to do research about young people like us and we've learnt a lot. It is quite shocking to see how different our life is to others.

Secondly, we needed to think about a slogan to involve everyone in our project. We thought that FEEL,THINK,ACT! was a good one. The message is very clear and it's short. First, you need to feel when something is not going on well, then you have to think what is the best thing to do and lastly It's your time to act!

Moreover, we had three volunteer girls with us one day to talk about different activities we could do as a volunteer. I told you about it in a post.

We also created a poster , where you can see a tree with hands. We tried to sinbolise that if everyone does something little we will do something really big together.

Finally, came the most important and difficult job: THE CAMPAIGN. We needed to find a way to involve the whole school and make them realise what's happening in our world. So we thought of two different activities to do with them:

• A gymkhana that simulated our world and they had to try and survive. (click here for further information).
• A quiz on Europe's day. (click here for further information)

We've had to work very hard to finish this project and we have had many problems as we were under pressure but we finished it today and the result is fantastic! If we win this competition we will get to go to Brussels to visit the European parliament. Lets see if we are lucky!
