We think our project went pretty well. The detailed planning helped us to achieve my goals and we learned a lot from the project. We had the opportunity to cooperate with India and our communication was excellent. Once our collaboration was established, we opened a group chat on WhatsApp. We exchanged ideas, shared our progress and sent each other pictures. Video chats were also a very helpful option. We made good progress and all members tried to complete the tasks in time. Of course, there is a noticeable time difference between Switzerland and India, which made it a little difficult to set a date and time for zoom meetings. But all in all, it was a very positive experience.
Difference between Vision & Imagination and Reflexion
Vision and Imagination" outlines the broader goals and aspirations of local wind power, while "Reflection" reflects on personal experiences and lessons learned from the project, focusing on individual actions and behaviors that can contribute to wind power.
Today we had a zoom meeting with Sivani from Kerala to discuss the information we have gathered so far. We had a great conversation and we were able to really colaborate! We discussed the option of doing a survey and decided that we are going to conduct a survey. Sivani will send the link to her colleagues in India and we will send it to our classmates here in Switzerland. The questions in the survey will be the same.
We told her that we are going to have an online-interview with a person who is specialized in wind power and she really liked our plan.
We also discussed how we want to do the organization of the survey. We agreed that the survey has to be conducted until 9th of May. On this date we will also have our next zoom meeting at 14:00 o' clock and evaluate the survey together.
Our next step is to conduct the intwerviews, finish our explanatory video and prepare a cover picture that we can later use for our article on dontwastemyenergy.

Media outlets are powerful tools that can be used to promote projects and ideas. Our wind power project is a perfect example of a project that can benefit from the use of various media outlets.
Social media is a powerful tool that can reach a large number of people in a short amount of time. By using social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, we can create posts, share images, and videos about our wind power project. We can also use hashtags.
Newspapers are a great way to reach people locally who may not be active on social media. By writing an article about our wind power project and submitting it to local newspapers, we can get our message out to a wider (maybe even elderly) audience.
We will also write an article about our wind power project and post it on dontwastemyenergy.
We will conduct an interview with different people, record it and write an article about it.
We’re also going to produce a video which explains how a wind turbine works.

Dear Nina, Alisha and Inês
Below you can find our feedback regarding your project.
1. can I get an impression of the project in a short time?
After reading your posts on the horse, we were able to get a short overview of your project "reducing daily CO2" and what you would like to do. The first impressions of your project are really good. It is a very exciting topic and you posted a lot of interesting information on the horse.
2. Are all steps clearly communicated
The steps are really clear to us. We think it would be nice, if you add a timetable to the horse, so we can see the next steps. However, we think your updates on how far you've come are great!
3. what already looks promising, interesting
We think you have made a very good effort in posting lots of interesting information. Your concept is a great overwiev of your project. You have written a great "Vision and Imagination" and we can see that you have potential in the future. Additionally, it is important that you raise awareness about this matter. What really caught our eye is that you asked a question in your post and then answered it in detail.
4. what could be added
As we mentioned before, we would love if you could add a timetable.
5. In your opinion, where does the project stand on a scale of 1-10?
In our opinion, the project is on a very good way. We hope you continue your project and work at the same pace.
We rate this project a 9.5/10. Keep up the excellent work!

We made a groupchat with the student Sivani from Kerala and wrote her a message with the informations about our project and suggestions on how we could collaborate. She immediately answered us and now we all can begin with our research!

Did you ever wonder how wind turbines work and if Switzerland would profit from using more wind power?
This might be something for you! In this project, we will tell you what goes on behind the scenes of a working wind turbine. You will also find out all about the swiss wind power and if it even can be extended.
Stay tuned for updates on our project!
