Shortly describe your project

All classrooms are regularly inspected to check how clean the desk compartments, floors, and blackboards are. The results are recorded by the teaching staff using checklists that are clearly displayed in the classrooms to determine the “cleanest class,” and they are also saved digitally. A special focus is placed on proper waste separation, which should be important to all of us—whether young or old. At the end of the semester, the “cleanest class” with the most points wins a group breakfast and receives homework vouchers.
