Come See the Closing Ceremony :)

We can’t believe today is the closing ceremony! It feels like the project just begun and now we are closing. Over 500 students impacted, over 140 flip charts made, and hundreds of good memories!

The Tomorrow Steps team would like to invite you to our closing ceremony of the project today, June 3rd, at 6:30pm in the Goethe Institute in Riga. It would be great to see you there!

Remember…its up to YOU to do your part to save this planet! :)

Last School in Liepaja!

LIEPAJA

Casey Piquette: The last school in Liepaja went great! We decided to completely change our strategy and came up with the idea of a game show. We created 10 questions that had to do with astonishing statistics about the environment and tested the students to see what they knew! We split the group into 5 teams, and everyone created a team name. For each questions they got right, they got 10 points, and each question wrong was -5 points. The students were getting really competitive and in to the game! It was really nice! We are bummed we didn’t implement this session earlier, because it went so well!

I will definitely miss Liepaja. There was a great charm about it, and the beach was awesome. I would also like to thank Linda and Imanz for showing us around the city and the fortress! It was very cool! Now its time for Riga again :)

Alina Rusu: oh, Liepaja- beautiful town! The combination of a great weather, Baltic Sea and the last school turned out to be one of the remarkable memory of my staying in Latvia :) The Trivia game we did and the interest shown by the students towards the results were really rewarding and I’m happy to say that I’m proud of our work in the project. Good attitude, passion and hard work are the keys to a successful ending. Thank you all for your dedication- Casey, Gen, Saurabh, Ana-Marija- great job, guys! :) And special thanks to the organizing committee for bringing all together and for making our staying in Latvia so memorable. Hope to see you all again someday.. :)
