ABOUT US
Four schools:
- The Brook SEN primary school London, U.K.
- Whitefield school London, U.K.
- Special Lycium of Athens, Greece
- Agios Spyridonas school Larnaca, Cyprus
​
The aim of this project is to raise awareness about the plastic waste in Oceans. All pupils worked together beyond borders in order to learn about plastic pollution and to make a film with the title "Oceans S.O.S." The film explores the life under the sea with the plastic waste and creatures that have no other option but to live in a dirty and often infected environment.
Pupils took part in conversations with peers and teachers, expressed their opinion and took decisions about the story and the script. Some children from Whitefield school visited the Greek school in Athens and completed parts of filming under the sea with a waterproof camera.
​
Reduce-Reuse-Recycle
Pupils banned the plastic bags, straws and bottles, they use reusable ones instead, and their next plan is to promote the project to local areas and schools. They used recycled materials to make crafts for theatrical performances, assemblies and made cards to send to their new friends around Europe!

Children's research and outcome
- Plastic is tough and lasts for centuries without dissolving.
- Every day almost a truckload of plastic enters the oceans.
- Over the past 70 years almost 8,3bn tons of plastic have been
produced on earth. Only 9% has been recycled.
- Companies produce more than 500bn plastic bottles every year.
- More and more people and businesses realize how dangerous
is the creation of single-use plastic.
