A fountain with solar panels for a waterfall will be installed in the school yard. A solar system will be also set up for night illumination of the clock tower which is a symbol of the oldest school in Razgrad. The implementation of this part of the program will run with expert and financial assistance of Razgrad Regional Development Agency which is affiliated with the school in its activities on environmental education.
Pupils from the Eco-club presented a figure of «Shrek» that was created from plastic bottles and aluminum cans collected by Eco-club participants. 7th grade student Niya Vassileva explained that this is the way students would like to draw attention to the unused possibilities of recycling.
We expect great results and exciting experience in the education for sustainable energy in Vassil Levski school in Razgrad — combining the high goals of teachers with the enthusiasm of the students.
