Cultural Heritage-makers competition: THE STORY OF PLASTIC

Plastic is a serious global environmental problem. We wanted to direct peoples' attention on it. Also we wanted to raise peoples' awareness about consequences of using plastic. During the project we tried to find some solutions to the issue and options to reduce the use of plastic in everyday life.  The name of our installation is "Plastic Planet". Don't let our planet to be a plastic one!


The project was planned and managed by the teacher students Tiia Hautasaari and Heidi Pyhtilä. The project was a significant part of their last training period. The goal of the "Plastic Planet" was to integrate six subjects, biology, geography, physics, chemistry, arts and Finnish language, and to try to find a new format to teach sustainable development in school. Information and communications technology appears in two aspects.  The first aspect is the installation itself. It is a result of co-operation and collaboration of 49 people. The second aspect are the QR-codes that lead to the childrens' statements of their learning processes.
