World Water Day

After driving Emma to her practise we went to Hatanpää Arboretum to see the sunset. It was beautiful!

Emma and her class participated today to a learning concept called Me & MyCity for ninth-graders. It was arranged in the Tampere University of Technology, where I used to study. The concept is great, I think. 

Me & MyCity for ninth-graders is a learning concept dealing with business and global economy. It consists of lessons in history, social studies and career counselling. The concept culminates to a game in the Me & MyCity learning environment. The Me & MyCity for ninth-graders learning concept simulates the operations of global case companies and a bank. The companies are involved in the lessons, the game and the learning environment. The students step into the shoes of the companies’ executives and engage in the tasks of various areas of responsibility. The teams compete against each other and the winning team is the one that achieves the best operating profit and the best reputation. Winning requires a good strategy and close interaction.


Today is World Water Day. The theme this year is wastewater. 

Why waste water? Over 80% of our wastewater flows back to nature untreated. Instead of wasting it, we need to reuse wastewater, and make the water cycle work better for every living thing.
