We have found multiple potential collaboration-partners:
- Student from the ETH: Will hopefully construct a heating lamp and a water dispenser for the advanced green roof.
- Kindergarten teacher: Here we will build the "simple" green roof together with the children.
- Student from Israel: Has the know how and experience to help envision and construct an advanced green roof. Additionally, we will conduct an interview with him, and he will give us constructive feedback to our project.
Sadly, the student from the ETH, did not meet our demands and was not able to support and guide us which our idea of building our own watering-system for our miniature green roof. Therefore, we had to lose one of our three collaboration partners.
We have set up an appointment with the kindergarten teacher. We will go to the class in the afternoon to conduct our miniature green roof building with the older kindergarten students in the afternoon. There will be approximately 12 students.
We were able to conduct our interview with the student from Israel. We asked our questions and recorded the interview. Additionally, he gave us feedback to our project and highlighted how important green roofs are.
Furthermore, we have decorated our miniature green roof last weekend and have plated the seeds for our roof. Surprisingly, they have already started to grow. We also went to a shoe store to ask for some empty shoe-boxes and were able to take 5 pieces. These will be used in the kindergarten.
In conclusion, we have two collaboration partners for our project.
Status:
Last Sunday we had a meeting with three students from India, Fadil, Manas and Advaith. They told us about the gaming culture in India and how they consume gaming. They also told us about their view on the connection between gaming and the environment. The meeting went very well and the students were very interested in our project and promised us further cooperation.
Next Steps:
- Evaluate relevant information from the meeting
- Create a list of energy consumption of different games and discuss it with Indian students
- Have another meeting with the Indian students and discuss the further steps

As a collabartion partner I could win my former primary school teacher. He lived in Thailand for several years and still has contacts from there. I would like to ask him what the sewage situation is like there. I wrote down some questions that I could ask him:More...
Since I have not been able to find any collaboration partners so far, I would like to give some thought to who else I could ask for this.
1. In primary school I had a teacher who lived for a few years in south africa and thailand. I could ask him, if he knows anyone who could I ask. Maybe he has also some informations for me.
2. I could ask WWF if they can give me some further information about wastewater treatment in other countries. Especially in eastern or african countries (https://www.wwf.ch/de/ueber-uns/kontaktformular)
3. Another option is Helvtas. They provide humanitarian help in the most poor countries (https://www.helvetas.org/de/schweiz/wer-wir-sind/kontakt)
4. Eawag is a water research institute with international roots. Perhaps they can tell me about the conditions in other countries (https://www.eawag.ch/de/ueber-uns/portraet/auftrag-und-strategie/)
Ideas from the teacher:
1. Alexandra Kappeler 1st degree connection1st
Programme Manager & Deputy Head of Expert Group «Construction»
alexandra.kappeler@gmail.com
2. WASH ExpertWASH Expert
Swiss Humanitarian Aid SHA, Federal Department of Foreign Affairs FDFA
3. https://www.eawag.ch/en/department/sandec/
Special Idea:
The company „Vuna“ provides a different method for wastewater. Maybe I can integrate it in my project (https://vuna.ch)
Preparing possible questions for our call:
- How important is sustainability to you when it comes to fashion ?
- What are your priorities when choosing clothing ?
- Do you know any brands that specialize in sustainable fashion ?
- What are your thoughts on the environmental impact of fast fashion ?
- How do you think we can reduce the impact of fast fashion on the environment ?
- How would you describe the importance of fashion in your life ?
- What can we do as consumers to make the fashion industry more sustainable? What changes would you like to see ?
Sehr geehrter Herr Schneebeli
Mein Name ist Tim Fehr und ich bin auf der Suche nach einem Experten für mein Schulprojekt mit Andrin Scheiwiller über die Schmelzung von Gletschern.
Auf Sie aufmerksam wurden wir über die Website:
www.wsl.ch. Wir denken Sie könnten ein sehr gute Hilfe sein. Bei unserem Projekt wollen wir die Gründe für das schmelzen der Gletscher herausfinden, sowie welche Massnahmen gemacht werden müssen um dies in Zukunft zu verhindern.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Antwort
Freundliche Grüsse
Andrin Scheiwiller und Tim Fehr
Answer:
Guten Tag Tim und Andrin
Das ist sicher ein interessantes Thema, aber ich bin nicht der Gletscher-Experte. Ich schlage euch vor, dass ihr zuerst einmal in Wikipedia und der Literatur recherchiert, und dann noch unklare Fragen an Experten stellt.
Ein Tipp: schaut euch die webseite von GLAMOS ( https://www.glamos.ch/#/B36-26 ), dem glacier monitoring network Switzerland, an, dort hat es auch die Adressen diverser ExpertInnen.
Freundliche Grüsse
Herr Schneebeli
Yannick, Mia and me are going to prepare some questions for our chosen expert.
We want to focus on the future of coral reefs. Is there a way to save them and if so how?
We are hoping for some useful answers and new insights on this topic.
What has been done:
- Purchased green roof material for our miniature green roof (Do-It Migros)
- Contacted Kindergarten
- Contacted ETH student - sadly, he couldn't meet our requirements for our project.
- Set up an interview with an Israeli environment student. He will additionally give us a feedback and constructive critique on our project.
What will be done:
- This Saturday (18.03.2023) we will build the miniature green roof.
- The interview will be conducted via Zoom due to the long distance this Friday (17.03.2023 14.00 CET)
- Set a date for our visit to the Kindergarten to build the miniature green roof with the children
- Summarize the interview, our visit to the Kindergarten and document the growth of our miniature green roof.
- Prepare for the IDAF with German class.
Sandra and I contacted two students from India yesterday and we will exchange our ideas and information today at 12 o'clock in a call.
Imagination: We would like to find a collaboration partner for this project, with whom we can build miniature green roofs with to demonstrate how a green roof really works and how it is constructed from the inside. These small green roofs will be built in a kindergarten class made out of a shoebox.
Additionally, we have contacted a green roof specialist. He is an Israeli student and will give us feedback to our project and we will conduct an interview with him.
This would allow us to show how the environment influences the growth and maintenance that is necessary for a green roof. This will also give us the opportunity to teach young children about green roofs and how important they are.
Vision: Our Vision with green roofs is that more cities install them to use the space that we do not need/use either way and help our environment with that.
