Bee the Change – Part 2

Students present their bee campaigns and engage in reflection to deepen their understanding and personal connection.

The intention is to encourage critical thinking about their learning, creative process, and real-world impact to empower ongoing environmental action.

In part 2 of Bee the Change, the students get time to prepare and run their campagne.

Before:

This activity builds on Bee the Change Part 1, which should be completed beforehand.

In this class, students get te time to prepare and/or carry out their campagne. Support them in their creativity and help them to find a way to carry out their plan.

Didactic tips

  • Let students make the decisions. Ask guiding questions instead of giving solutions.
  • Keep check-ins short. Have teams briefly share their progress and next step.
  • Encourage testing. Remind students to try their ideas with a few people and improve them based on feedback.
  • Give everyone a role. Ensure each student contributes with a task that matches their strengths.
  • Celebrate small wins. Acknowledge creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving throughout the process, not just the final campaign.
  • Use peer feedback. Invite teams to give each other one compliment and one suggestion for improvement.
  • Connect to real life. Ask students how their campaign could make a difference beyond the classroom.
