We showed them round the school. They liked our classrooms, equipment, decorations, the Eco – Ideas exhibition, fields, pitches and playgrounds . We also spent some time on the discussion about our projects – Is it Waste or Money? and Ethno Treasure Hunt.
It was a very good opportunity to exchange and share some ideas that could enrich both our projects.
I would like to say THANK YOU to Daniela, Lucian and Octavian that they came to Warsaw and visited our school. It was a very nice experience.

As active members of this network we were invited to visit COGERSA (the Consortium for Solid Waste Management in Asturias).

So, we went to The Interpretation Centre of Waste in COGERSA, opened in 2007. This centre is a classroom-museum about recycling, management of all waste and sustainable development.

This centre is the only one of its type in Spain. It is enormous over 1,000 m2. And thanks to our guide we remembered the importance of the Three Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
We really enjoyed our day out in COGERSA!

We invited local authorities, local press, head teachers from other schools, some officials from the Ministry of Education, parents, pupils etc. We also sent an invitation to the National Agency.
It was great day for all of us. Here are some photos.
