Litterhitters!, Shawlands Academy

This whole-school initiative links a city clean-up operation and a school litter campaign, educating students about environmental issues in French. The approach is cross-curricular integrating subjects as Citizenship, Drama and ICT. Students have worked closely with international partners to produce a website looking at the environment in a European context.

Highlights of the project include a video diary, workbook and a French play. Not only were pupils involved in staging and production of the play but in regenerating the park where it was performed in an environmental service to the local community.

Shawlands Academy is a cosmopolitan, multi-ethnic school with a student population of 1,250.
