Kaunas, Lithuania
The WWMD event took place in Kaunas, Lithuania by the river Neris at 13:00 on November 25 and at Vydunas Secondary School on November 27. A group of 11 pupils and their English teacher Rasma Stuokiene attended the event. Later at school, pupils carried out experiments with their chemistry teacher Dalia Z. who explained the importance of dissolved oxygen and pH levels.
The Neris was chosen because it is the second biggest river in Lithuania. The group noted that it was interesting to observe how much the river is polluted after having flowed through Belorussia and the capital city of Vilnius. Read more or submit a story!
