As a School , we bought a hundred of pine seedling.Students planted the seedlings and gave them ‘Water of Life’
Our students prepared questions about greenhouses, importance of water on greenhouses, importance of soil, air and the effects of harmful chemicals and hormons used in grenhouses.

Visitors and tourists will encounter wooden stakes with these QR-Codes scattered all around La Pilastra Island and by using a QR-Code Reader app on their mobile devices, they will be able to learn about the flora and fauna of this area of the river Ter.
Our school has a blog about international projects and actions: https://veikkolanerasmus.wordpress.com/
From the blog you can read a diary of all the mobilities and learn more about international things we have been involved in.
Diary of the student mobilities were also published (in Finnish) in a local newspaper Kylänraitti (1st TTALA Kylänraitti 3/2016 page 14 , the other issues are not available in web)
The project has been presented to all teachers, students from grades 7-9 and also parents in various occasions.
Inkeri Mauno is telling the teachers about the last TPM and the whole project.
During an open-door evening for the parents in October 22nd 2017 we presented all the projects and activites in our school, among others all our international projects. In the last picture Elina Mattila, who participated in this project, is telling about the student mobilities.
We have a project wall at school with pictures from the TTALAs, map with all the project countries etc.
During the project, a pan-European phrase book was created. It gathers some basic phrases in all five project languages as well as some vocabulary related to water and protecting the environment.
In Veikkola school we arrange a Clean the Environment Day at least once a year. That’s when all our pupils go in turns to collect all the trash around the school and neighbouring area. Pictures are from September 2017.
Moreover in our school we have a Take What You Eat week in September when it’s emphasised to the pupils how much food goes to waste and how with little changes they can make a difference.
A couple of 9th grade students in Veikkola school tried marbeling art in their art lesson. This was a good start and the technique will be used more in the future, says art teacher Kristiina Tumelius.
