In the preparatory classes, pupils with little knowledge of German, especially refugee children, receive intensive language support. "It was particularly noticeable that the topics of sleep and nutrition were often addressed by the pupils who come from the war zone Ukraine - which is understandable given the circumstances in their home countries with disturbed nights and a lack of food," explains head of department Dr. Traub.
First place winner Darina from the Ferdinand-Steinbeis School in Vaihingen an der Enz created a three-dimensional object with recycled materials - a room with two sections: a light area with healthy products and a dark area with unhealthy products. The runner-up, Lilia from the Justinus Kerner School in Ludwigsburg, impressed the judges with her beautifully drawn manga. Andrii, the third-placed pupil from Philipp-Matthäus-Hahn School in Kornwestheim, shows a peaceful, healthy Earth in his picture.
"I am very pleased that the young people are taking the topic of health seriously and looking positively to the future despite their negative experiences," says Dr. Traub. She and her colleague Ugur were impressed by the students' commitment.
