The meeting focused on solutions for improving the school environment. Students will rehearse a song with help from a video and sheet music copied in Sweden. Countries will check presentations on the wiki and blog for factual errors to improve information shared publicly. The wiki activities will be less structured this term due to varying school schedules. The energy blog will focus on problem solving, with students suggesting ideas from other schools to implement and celebrate Earth Day. Each country will present the life cycle energy use of a selected product at the next meeting in Portugal.

1. Minutes of the meeting in Uddevalla, Sweden May 2012-05-31
- Focus:
still on school environment, but more emphasis is put on solutions rather than tracking
down problems
- Song:
Pupils in each school will have to rehearse the song by the help of the video and the
music sheet copied in Sweden. Reunion has volunteered to design a kind of dance for
the song.
- Improve the already published presentations on the wiki and the blog:
Now that the first year of the project is over and we have to come up with a half-term
report about our achievements, it is very important to check every information that
goes public either in the wiki or in the blog.
Each country (teachers and students likewise) has to check the presentations of the
schools and the reports for factual information mistakes to help the countries improve
the published presentations.
- Wiki:
Mind the different timing of holidays in each participating country when expecting
immediate answers
This term the activities in the wiki are going to be less regulated due to lack of school
instruction time. Students are invited to share their ideas about what they think about
the organisation of an earth day campaign and what they think should be included in it
in a rather informal way in the wiki
- Energy Blog:
In a way we are going to continue the energy blog by concentrating on problem
solving.
Students have to suggest some ideas about what they think they could implement from
the ideas of other schools (it is essential that they could refresh their memories about
the presentations by making them available on the wiki)
Pupils will suggest ways of celebrating Earth Day by launching a campaign.
We will plan the campaign in Portugal based on the ideas published in the wiki.
2. - The story of a ...
... Each country will select a product, an item (related to the topic they are in
charge of) , and will try to follow its story talking about:
a) The energy needed to make that product
b) The energy needed while it is working, during its life period.
c) The energy needed to recycle that item after having used it.
Products:
Portugal is already done with The Story of Paper and
Hungary : The Story of a Battery
Reunion: The Story of a Plastic Bottle
The Basque Country: The Story of Pizza
Sweden: A glass bottle
Each country will present the story of the chosen product (PPT, PREZI or other
presentation tools) in Portugal.
+ National Days
Each country will hold a special day, (the Portuguese hosts are responsible for the
schedule: which day - which country)
