Four Gozitan schools took part in a competition for this year’s World Days of Action. School students from different countries were invited to sing in a music video competition about hope for a sustainable world.
Gozo College Sannat Primary’s music video was voted the best in Malta. It is now competing against 11 other schools from around the world.
From now until the 3rd of May it will be possible to vote on the videos through the WDA site here. All you have to do is click on the 5th star below the photo on the page and your vote will be cast.
Out of the five music videos which have the most likes on the WDA site, an international jury will choose the top three winners.
The videos will be judged on the following criteria:
– Creativity
– Enthusiasm
– Storyline
– Technical quality
– Reference to eco-schools (Green Flag)
The winners will be revealed on the 6th of May 2015. Third place winners will receive €200, second place €400 and the first price winner €600.
“The Gozo College Sannat Primary and Special Unit School has produced this music video to promote and spread the word about Eco-Schools.This project was integrated in the day-to-day life at school.The school got on board with the basics, being the three R’s and furthered its activities to promote sustainability.
A school garden was planted and vegetables are growing on site.The pupils learn to produce their own food; from vegetables to eggs. This leads to healthier choices and healthier lives. Moreover they are used during cooking lessons.
An alternative form of transport is introduced. Those living close enough to school can try biking for a few days a week.
The Red Palm Weevil has caused an ecological damage on our Maltese Islands.
Through the help of the school gardener, Sannat Primary is taking the necessary measure to control this species. Therefore the school is trying to instill in the pupils, the love for all living things around them. In addition pupils discussed the issue of loneliness, especially among the old aged persons in the community and how this could be tackled.
We should embrace our traditions and learn more about them. Pupils at Sannat Primary and Special Unit School are proud that they are making changes in their lives to be more sustainable.”
