At first Wordpress seemed a bit complicated and it was very confusing. It has a few similarities to Office Word yet at the same time it was totally a different experience.
We had to ask our fellow classmates and Mrs. Sutter many questions at the beginning but with the time we got the hang of it and we were able to navigate the program on our own and finalize our post which are excited to share.

My project is coming to an end. Now it was time to use all the information gained during the development of the project. Working with the Wordpress platform took a while at the beginning until I found my way around. However, it helped because it is structured in the same way as "The Horse". This means that after a short period of getting used to the system, you were able to find your way around. It is simple and clearly structured.
We had some dificulties with the presentation in wordpress but we managed to make it look clean. We had to rewrite a part of our interview because the formation was wrong. But in the end everything looked good and we published our work on https://dontwastemy.energy/2021/01/20/city-parks-and-their-impact-on-the-environment/
Today we continued with editing our post on dontwastemy.energy. We decided on our title picture and made some minor adjustments, so that our post is ready for publishing soon.

The project that I have chosen is the SWITCH-Asia programme from fairtrade. The SWITCH-Asia Grants Programme funds pilot projects helping companies to adopt cleaner technologies and more sustainable industrial practices, as well as helping consumers to act more responsibly in their daily choices and lifestyles. Since 2007, this EU programme has funded projects across a wide range of sectors (energy efficiency in industrial plants and houses, agri-food and fishing sectors, textiles and leather, tourism, logistics and freight) implemented by over 500 Asian and European partners, about 100 private sector associates, indirectly benefitting up to 80.000 micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).
By supporting the sharing of knowledge and developing local capacity for responsible business practices, SWITCH-Asia is a means for local companies to more easily access the supply chains of multinational companies which seek to establish green and fair conducts within their value-chains. The replication and scaling-up effect of project results together with access to finance and public-private investments for green products, services and technologies will be key elements within the programme in the next years in order to have a greater impact in the region. The evidence provided by projects is meant to feed into policy and regulatory discussions with national governments in their transition towards a low-carbon and resource-efficient economy through the improvement of national strategies and action plans with regard to sustainable production and consumption practices.
130 projects funded in the region over a period of 14 years of which 22 new ones active as of 2020 and implemented by Asian, Central Asian and European organisations. In line with the new ambitions of the EU in terms of green transition, the Grant Scheme of the programme will focus in particular (but not exclusively) on the external dimension of the EU Green Dealand of its focus areas, such as sustainable food-systems and circular economy.
«befter» project - before & after the experience
The goal
Creating a teams’ experience for building a relationship to the «real world» and in collaboration between teams across the world. The final goal is a publication of the experience on the project website www.dontwastemy.energy as a gift for the world!
The reason why
Through a self-made experience students can reach a deeper learning, activate their previous knowledge and acquire new knowledge. In addition, students can get confidence in their abilities and improve their social and media competencies.
The 7 steps (light towers or milestones)
There are several steps to go through: Your own imagination, online research and team discussion, performing the experience, self-reflection compared to step 1 and 2, finally publishing on dontwastemy.energy and propagation on social media and asking for feedback & comments.
