CAMPAIGN FOR USING LOOFAH

During the recent mobility of schools from Estonia, Sweden, Poland and Italy to IES Canido (Ferrol, Spain), we made our best from our loofah production.

   

We organised several activities related to the use of loofah. Here are some of them.

GOAL:

The goal of the whole set of tasks is that, by using digital means, the students will create a poster or a small presentation for a startup they are going to invest on. They will sell loofah and have to promote it to get as many customers as possible.

 

Activity 1

STEPS:

First, we divided the students in international small groups. They were 60 in total: 7 from Estonia, 12 from Sweden, 13 from Poland, 6 from Italy and 22 from Spain. We asked them to form groups of 5 students and, therefore, we got 12 groups. (10 minutes)

Second, the groups gathered together and we showed them individual loofahs and asked them to touch and analyse the product and start thinking about which products they could create using this biodegradable raw material. (15 minutes)

They started to discuss the topic. They wrote down their ideas and kept them for the next activity. Some interesting nice products were suggested: a coaster, earrings, a pair of sandals, a bag... (10 minutes)

Activity 2

We gave each team 2 long loofahs and a smaller one with a weird shape and asked them to shape the loofahs to make them attractive to customers. They also had to take a photograph of their creation once finished. Some of them had to use a needle and thread to tie both parts of their objects. (15-20 minutes)

They were working and got a final product: a star, a heart, a cylinder... As well, they took their photographs and were ready for the 3rd activity.

Activity 3

We moved to one of the classrooms with laptops and started the last part of the tasks.

The students switched on their laptops. They had to create an advertising campaign for their products and their startup. Some concentrated on the benefits of loofah and others focused on the products they would sell.

Their creations were shared with the teacher in charge of the activity via email, Google drive or USB.

The duration of this activity was 45-50 minutes.

Here are a few examples of the loofah promotion. Click on the BLUE words to see the presentations or have a look at the photos.
