Experiences —> Media

For our project there are certainly many types of media we could use. As we have proceeded to interview three people from Ukraine I thinkt the most suitable media would be in written form.

For example we could summarise the answers which are similar. That would make it easier for the reader, as the text would be shorter in the end. And aswell repetitions could be reduced.

Another option for us would be to place the different answers next to eachother to reach some type of comparison characteristics.

Audios of some answers could touch the readers emotions. Hearing a person speak is most definitely more touching than just reading about their experiences.

Also a video of the interviewee’s talking in Ukrainian with English subtitles would be a great option to reach the readers interest.

Also regarding the fundamental information on the situation in Ukraine we could use news article, videos from news channels or on YouTube maybe.

Finding a collaboration partner

A student from Kerala is interested in our project. We have contacted the student, in order to set up a meeting/group call.

Message 1:

Dear Shruthi
Ms. Suter told us that you are interested in our project impact on environment due to conflict. We were wondering why you are interested in this project. We would also like to hear from you in what way you could contribute to our group work in your opinion. Ms. Suter advised for us to set up a group call.
Best,
Marina & Pascal

If you are interested in our work so far, we could give you a guest link to the website.

Peer feedback „glacier melting“ task 23

Dear Tim, Dear Andrin

Below you can find our feedback regarding your project.

1. can i get an impression of the project in a short time?

A little. Getting impressions is still a little difficult at the current state. The group has not come very far yet. However, the group has already made an effort to contact a potential interview partner.

2. Are all steps clearly communicated

Unfortunately, we can not see any described steps. We would like to know what this group has in mind for their project. Tip: If steps are available, please publish them on theHorse.

3. what already looks promising, interesting

The topic is very exciting and I am very interested to read the final product. So far, however, not very much is available. But we hope you make good progress :)

4. what could be added

We would like to see some structure. That would make the overall understanding of this project a lot easier. Until that is in place, it is difficult to provide helpful feedback.

5. In your opinion, where does the project stand on a scale of 1-10?

At this point, the project is still a 5 out of 10 for us. Once a structure or a more detailed plan is in place, the project is easily a 7 or 8 out of 10 for us.

This is our project

Hello & welcome everyone

The current situation in Ukraine is very touching. The war has been going on for about a year now. Aside from the horrors caused by the bombardments, occupation, etc. different environmental problems have developed. We would like to create an insight on these aspects of the war.
