This week, fair‑fish team member Laura Kamp once again sparked enthusiasm at a primary school in Schwyz with the school project: the children ‘fished’ in the sea and learnt what happens when there is overfishing. How do fishes breathe? Which fish swims the fastest? What do fishes do at night? The children asked questions and joined in the discussion with great enthusiasm. ‘The more I know about fishes, the more I can empathise with them!’ The children experienced this for themselves.
When talking about the sea, you can’t leave out the topic of marine pollution. Many children already know that it’s not healthy for aquatic animals to eat plastic. But why does this happen in the first place? Many little ‘aha’ moments later, the children know more about marine conservation and fish welfare. This motivates them to get involved themselves in helping the animals and the environment!
Has this sparked your curiosity? The fair‑fish school project is tailor-made for primary schools in German-speaking Switzerland and is completely free of charge! Write to us: laura@fair‑fish.net
