Martinus School Orsbeck wins recycling competition-creativity wins!

In the Heinsberg district, the first round of an exciting ideas competition on the subject of recycling was recently completed, in which a total of eight schools with great enthusiasm took part. These schools submitted their creative projects evaluated by a jury. An outstanding result of this competition is the victory of the Martinus School Orsbeck, which, with its remarkable commitment to sustainability and environmental awareness, prevailed against the competition. The award was solemn by Dr. Kevin Simon, the district's climate protection manager, presented.

The award ceremony was not only a formal matter, but also a platform on which the students of the Martinus School presented their innovative projects. This school pursues the goal of becoming active as a child rights school and taking the pupils responsible. Under the inviting motto "From old make new", the students impressively show how used materials can be converted into useful objects. Empty cans were creatively transformed into cutlery containers, flower vessels and tool boxes. In May the school is planning to launch a project entitled "Exchange instead of buying", which is intended to introduce an exchange to reduce consumption and the associated waste production.

commitment to the environment and seasonality

Another remarkable commitment of the Martinus School is participation in the sunflower planting "Home blooms". This initiative aims to create a flowering and livable environment and to bring the importance of nature closer to the pupils. In addition, the school has also made great progress in the field of food recycling. In the school -owned bistro, remnants from school fruit, the school garden and lunch catering are used creatively to avoid waste and to sensitize the students to the responsibility in the food industry.

A very special highlight are the "strawberry weeks" that take place in June. During this time, regional products come to the fore, which should bring the importance of the seasonality of food closer to the children. In this way, the students not only learn to avoid garbage, but also where their food comes from and how important it is to support local products.

The Martinus School Orsbeck has made a valuable contribution to the sensitization of their students for environmental issues with its dedicated approach and the creative project ideas. Your achievements in the context of the ideas competition are an Auspicious step in the right direction for future generations and their awareness of sustainability. Participation in the competition not only promoted the commitment of the students, but also carried the topic of recycling and environmental protection into the hearts of young people.
