Thursday May 13, part II

!!! - Please note that for now a preliminary (image) report will be given, with comments to clarify the meaning of the pictures. A full in-depth report about the process during the project will be available at a later stage.

A few excursions were planned at the beginning of the week in order to acquaint the students with the island and some of the people who live there. It was interesting for the students to see and hear about the in-depth knowledge that some people possess. There are many stories to tell about Schiermonnikoog and the surrounding seas: North Sea and Waddenzee.

After the ultra-early start on Thursday, a two-hour beach combing excursion was planned. This would open the eyes of the students to what can be found on the shores of Schiermonnikoog, ranging from sea shells to shoes. And many, many plastic bottles. Some of the salvaged 'treasure' was displayed in the fire station.


The same man who took the students beachcombing in the morning, Thijs de Boer, also introduced them to many wonders he found himself on the beaches of Schiermonnikoog and other places around the world. In his beautifully kept Shell Museum he told of wonders of the deep and shallow.
