To-Do-List

- Contact more Media-Outlets
Our highest priority for today's lessons is writing and perfecting the article for the newspaper "Züri-Oberländer". After completing the article, we would like to send it to Ms. Mittelholzer for correction and feedback.
So far we have conducted our interview with an expert and have also had a successful visit to the kindergarten. (See other "Green Roofs" posts). We have additionally completed the IDAF-Worksheets.
I have already sent out a lot of E-Mails, so I now need to work on the article. There is already a first draft, but I would like to include the interview into the article. As soon as this is done, I would be ready to start the process of publication.
-Finish article
-Possible corrections
-Start intro WordPress
-Storyboard podcast
-Team assesment
We have received a reply from Zürcher Oberländer that we can send them a draft that is max. 2500 characters with high quality pictures. Our next step is to write the article and send it to them as soon as possible!
We replied to them and sent them the article and picture:

-Wann warst du bei den Penan in Borneo?
Ich war bei den Panan in den Jahren 2001, 2003, 2007 und 2011. Das erste Mal als wir uns auf die Suche von Bruno Manser machten.
-Wie kamst du dazu mit den Penan zu interagieren?
Interagiert habe ich vermehrt leider nur mit dem Dolmetscher. Er war ein Halb-Penan und er übersetzte von Malay, die Sprache der Penan, ins Englische. Die Penan selbst sprechen kein Englisch.
-Wie hat die Modernisierung den Lebensstil der Penan verändert?
Es leben noch einige wenige Hunderte Penan wirklich als Nomaden, diese befinden sich in den oberen Regionen. Bei diesen hat sich nicht viel verändert. Im flacheren Teil wird halt leider stark abgeholzt. Aus diesem Grund ist es nicht mehr wirklich möglich dort so zu leben. Sie kriegen von der Regierung Baracken und leben zur Hälfe in diesen und zur anderen Hälfte im Dschungel. Also einfach gesagt wurde der Grossteil der Penan indirekt dazu gezwungen ihr nomadisches Leben aufzugeben. Leider hat dies nur sehr selten Vorteile für die Penan, da viele von ihnen in Dörfern oder Städten verelenden.

As planned, I spoke with my friends about creating a podcast episode. They both said they would love to, and I hope we will be able to produce an episode on Friday the 21.04.2023. The podcast is called Lo-cast, and they produce episodes about many different subjects. Even thought they have a small audience, they have a few listeners which regularly turn on the podcast.
Team with Nina, Inês and Alisha
We received feedback from Frau Suter for our questions. We applied the feedback and adapted the questions.
Our next step is to prepare a draft email to send to students in WKVW, India and Dubai. You can read the mail down below:
Dear participant,
For a school project we are conducting a survey on "reducing daily CO2 emissions".
We are confronted with CO2 emissions on a daily basis and in recent years it has become clear that we need to reduce emissions to help the environment.
Thank you for taking 5 minutes out of your day to complete this survey.
Kind regards
Nina, Inês and Alisha
Our next step is to send out the survey.
Delvina and I are on the search of a Newsletter or Blog that we could publicate our IDAf Project on. On our first request to the GMX Newsletter we sadly got a rejection.
GMX Newsletter Response:
Because of this rejection we sent out another request to the blog : Umweltgedanken.de
We are still awaiting their response and hope for the best.
Kind regards
Delvina & Sandra
