Science on Stage exhibition, Lisbon, Portugal

Skagerak's science teacher Gerald Decelles, together with Ulrike Englert from Willibald-Gluck-Gymnasium in Neumarkt, Germany, presented their collaborative project work entitled Building a Sustainable Future- Together at the Science on Stage exhibition in Lisbon last week, all part of the European network for science teachers. Not only was it an accomplishment to be included as a presenter, but Mr Decelles and his partner also won the award for the 'best joint project' at the exhibition. Here is the link to their project poster and to a German newspaper article.
