After research on insulation we decided to run an insulation promotion campaign. Here are some of our insulation posters and our Insulation Campaign Videos. Hope you'll join us in our insulation campaign.  

The Cost of Insulation 

We insulated our classroom windows ourselves and it didn't cost much. You can choose from several variants of insulation. Of course, the best but the most expensive would be to put new plastic windows. Here are the links to the websites where you can read all about them and see the price

Unfortunately, this way of insulation is quite expensive. There is another, much cheaper way. You can use sponge and tape to insulate windows: http://vakyla.com.ua/yak-zaminiti-ushhilnyuvach-pvx-vikna/ 

The importance of classroom insulation. 

We live in Ukraine. The school year here starts in September and ends in May. The cold season is from October to April. Public schools are usually poorly insulated. It is typical for people in our country to complain and to wait until somebody makes all the changes. With the help of this project we want to show that no matter how old you are, you can be the change agents! We are the students of the 8-th form (13-14 year-olds) First, we insulated our own classroom, then we conducted research on insulation conditions in other schools of the region and finally we ran a campaign to promote classroom insulation.
