About the project

Green products are characterized by properties that distinguish them from conventional products. In addition to the positive environmental impact, green products should be supposed to have improved properties and quality, but also to be greater satisfaction to consumers than regular products. To be classified as the organic product, the percentage of organic ingredients must be minimum 95. The term "green product” is intended to denote products and services which have reduced environmental impact and human health impact throughout the life cycle compared to other products for the same purpose. Let's try to produce real "green products" with our students. Let’s make the "green products" factory of our school, which will form one recognizable green "brand" (Unique name and unique visual identity). This activity’s focus is to encourage mathematical, linguistic, design, business and marketing skills.

WORK PROCESS
September and October: Introducing students to the goals of sustainable development through various educational videos and web tools.
November, December: Students will design the product type, name and visual identity and design the packaging. Every appealing information to the "green consumer" has to be stated on the package (Declaration on the ingredients, shelf life, place and time of production). A QR code is also desirable, which gives additional interesting facts about the product or the method and production workflow. The ingredients, the name or product’s visual identity is supposed to be connected to the school or the city.
January-April: The production, workshops for students and possibly their parents.Partner schools choose what kind of eco-products they want to produce. Produced by recycling waste, from raw materials cultivated in the school’s local community, without harmful chemical substances.
May and June - creating the marketing video and posting it to the school websi
EXPECTED RESULTS
This project is suitable for the curriculum areas: language and media culture, music culture, art culture, mathematics and cross-curricular topics Sustainable Development, Entrepreneurship and Use of Information and Communication Technology.
Students are introduced to the process of creating the “green product", from the idea to the final product.
Students will develop their personal responsibility to the future generations. They will create and edit new content and express themselves creatively through the digital media.
The expected result is at least one finished product that meets all the criteria of a "green product" and the needs of a "green consumer".
Publishing all phases of the project to TwinSpace throughout the year and communicating to other participants in the project.
