  Students of the 5th grade participated in the Masterchef show with the aim of promoting green food. They concluded that green food has greater benefits for the environment, contributes to lower CO2 emissions, does not require demanding preparation, is cheaper, tastier and healthier. In addition, students developed teamwork, creativity in food preparation, organizational skills and awareness of the value of work for human life. They had the opportunity to learn from the jury, which included a librarian, a math teacher and a school cook. The students really enjoyed this activity and eagerly await new activities of this type.

Spektakl "Wszechmocni w sieci" zaprezentowany przez Teatr Kamienica w Warszawie można nazwać jedną z lepszych profilaktyk skierowany nie tylko do młodzieży, ale do wszystkich użytkowników Internetu.
