Futuraskolan Preschools Celebrate Earth Day!

Preschool Earth Day Celebration – A Day of Collaboration and Conservation!


Our Futuraskolan Preschools joined forces for an unforgettable Earth Day celebration. The focus was on fostering environmental awareness and the importance of preserving nature. The day was filled with hands-on activities that engaged the children and instilled a sense of responsibility towards our planet.

Forest Cleanup

The highlight of the day was a collaborative forest cleanup. Children and teachers worked together to collect rubbish and tidy up the area. It was eye-opening to see how much waste we found and it sparked conversations about reducing litter.

Recycling Activities

We emphasized the importance of recycling through interactive sessions. Children learned about sorting different materials and the recycling process. It was a great way to show them that waste can be turned into something new.

Building Birdhouses

Another exciting activity was hanging up our birdhouses our learners had made from recycled materials. The children decorated them and filled them with bird feed, which they then placed in the surrounding areas. This gave them a chance to connect with nature and help our feathered friends.

Impact

The collaborative Earth Day celebration was a huge success. It not only taught the children about environmental issues but also showed them the power of teamwork and community involvement. We hope this day will inspire a lifelong appreciation for nature and a commitment to protecting our environment.

Våga Visa 2025 Täby

A yearly survey, conducted in January/February, is used by multiple municipalities in Stockholm County to assess school quality. In Täby, all public schools participate, while private schools have the option. The survey targets parents of preschool and 3rd-grade students, as well as students in grades 3, 6, and 8. The survey results are crucial for schools to monitor quality across age groups, compare classes, and track changes in parent and student perceptions over time.

~Greece – Round Three, Day 3~

Today, our students joined peers from Themistoklis Private School and the Canary Islands for a workshop on inclusion for people with disabilities. They shared insights on how different countries support students with disabilities and explored ways to foster more inclusive environments. The Greek students also gave us a fantastic tour of their school, making it a truly enriching morning.

In the afternoon, we met Iro and Vicky from MIO, an NGO dedicated to environmental initiatives across 28 Euro-Mediterranean countries. Our students took action by cleaning Sef Beach, where recent rains had washed up large amounts of trash. Their hard work paid off, they collected an impressive 39.5 kg of waste!

Great job, everyone! @erasmus_plus_projects #greece #erasmusplus #inclusion


~ Greece Round Three, Day 4~

Another fantastic day full of creativity, learning, and new experiences!

We started the day at the National Library of Athens, where our students along with Spanish and Greek students participated in a Graphic Novel Workshop (Grades 8-12). Using Al tools and their creativity, they crafted their own unique stories!

Next, we had an inspiring workshop with Iro and Vicky from MIO, an NGO dedicated to protecting the Mediterranean Sea. We learned about plastic pollution and waste, then got hands-on by creating art from recycled materials they prepared. To top it all off, we had the opportunity to enjoy a stunning panoramic view of Athens from the Stavros Niarchos Foundation. The city looked absolutely breathtaking!

Another amazing learning experience for our students!

~Greece Round Three, Day 5~

Another incredible day filled with learning, inspiration, and meaningful experiences for our students!

The morning started with a visit to Themistoklis private school, where we gathered with Greek and Spanish students. Our students gave insightful presentations on human rights, while the Spanish students shared innovative ideas for supporting students with disabilities— ideas they had developed with our students during Monday’s workshop.

A particularly moving moment was listening to the testimonies of Konstantinos, a blind student, and Lemonia, a deaf teacher. Their powerful stories deeply resonated with everyone, offering a profound perspective on resilience and inclusion.

In the afternoon, we visited the ELIX center, a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) dedicated to fostering volunteerism and providing educational activities for refugee children. Our students participated in sessions on children’s rights and later expressed their identities and values through creative poster-making.

It was a truly enriching day that highlighted the importance of inclusion, empathy, and collaboration! 😍

Bilingual’s Grade 8’s in Bosnia!

Futuraskolan International Stockholm (Bilingual) students in grade 8 have been to Bosnia!


Through the Atlas Organization and Futuraskolan’s Global Citizenship Program our students in Grade 8 in Futuraskolan International Stockholm (bilingual) have had a trip of a lifetime! Follow their fantastic journey in the slide shows below. Thanks to all of our host families and chaperones who helped make this trip so special. A big thank you to Futuraskolan’s Alma Milic who set this trip up and made it happen!

Day 1! On our way to Sarajevo and super-excited!

Day 2 in Bosnia

We got to meet our wonderful host families. Together with our new friends, we explored the city of Zenica. We went to a football game at their stadium, and visited a Catholic and an Orthodox Church, as well as a Mosque and a synagogue!

Day 3 in Bosnia

We explored the old city of Travnik where you can have the most delicious and delightful ćevapi. We had the opportunity to visit the fortress of Travnik, the birth place of Ivo Andrić, the Nobel prize winner for literature.

Day 4 in Bosnia

Today we visited Sarajevo. We explored the “Tunnel of Hope”, the Paradox Museum of Illusions and had a fika on Baščaršija.

Day 5 in Bosnia

More adventure! We got to visit the Pyramid in Visoko. We went through the tunnel in the pyramid and on the actual mountain! This was quite the experience and so very exciting.

Last day in Bosnia!

The last day we spent in Zenica. We ate Sutlija (a rice porridge type of meal) and homemade cake together with homemade juice. We got to bring with us Ajvar and jam. We have made some fantastic new friends and can’t wait to see them again. We look forward to hosting them when they in turn come and visit us in Sweden in December. It will be difficult to match their fantastic hosting – they made us feel so much at home in Serbia. We ended our adventurous trip with bowling and some Piazza shopping! We love Bosnia!!!
