Bridges over times and cultures“Handmade is heartmade”

Scoala Gimnaziala Ioan Slavici Siria

Who took part in the business project?

• 15 pupils from the 4th grade (age 9-10) and 10 pupils from the 5th grade (age 11-12) who chose to create handmade Easter cards and spring arrangements(decorations).

• We decided what we needed to buy before we got started - the startup costs. Each pupil contributed with a share of the cost.

• Materials required: coloured paper, crayons, Easter/spring themed stickers,styrofoam boards,scissors, glue, glitter pencils.

Getting started

The objectives of the business project were:

• to get pupils acquainted with a business plan

• to help pupils estimate the costs of a business

• to motivate pupils to promote the products

Spring decorations

Promoting the products

• The pupils decided they could promote their products by:

• creating a facebook page

• organizing a display in the school halls

• The Easter cards and the spring decorations were offered to an old people’s home in Siria during an organized visit.
