The community of Kuršėnai Stasys Anglickis Basic School took active participation in the entertaining international project “Flick the Switch”. The School Principal Danutė Lotiukienė returned from the Flick the Switch Campaign Closing Ceremony in Rakvere (Estonia) with the Regional Winners Flag which currently decorates the school lobby. The active period of the project implementation having now ended, one can begin to contemplate its outcomes and follow-up actions.
It is significant that the participants continue with the project activities by themselves. The project activities have instilled a need among students to save electricity at home and at school. The effective result of the project certainly is a more diverse and a more efficient school operation: integrated classes in electricity, energy saving techniques, interesting post-curriculum activities which involve both the students and their family members. However, we believe that a more important result is that students have found themselves able to help their school through their capability to contribute to its financial matters, after all, electricity saved is money gained for the school. The project ideas have been brought home and reported to parents and other family members by their children.
While reading information on the project website, the students, in liaison with the children of other countries, enjoyed their active contribution to the solution of the worldwide topical issue of saving energy resources. Thereby, young people practiced citizenship. Hence the “Flick the Switch” project has developed the students’ moral attitudes.
The final event of the project took place in school at the end of May featuring the song “Flick the Switch” which had been created by the students themselves and has already gained in popularity. According to the students, the song lyrics express that the project activities would proceed and be never ending.
