Everything in Moderation(skoffer) for the Fair

The countdown to the Third European Fair on Education for Sustainable Development (28-30 October 2009) began many months ago.

But production has cranked up a level here at the AZB which is hosting it and now even I've been conscripted. While others are doing clever things with graphics packages to illustrate polysyllabic phrases I can't get my tongue, let alone my brain round, I've been introduced to the delight that is a 'Moderationskoffer'.

The site we use for online translation is Leo. Look up 'Moderationskoffer' and you get the wonderful phrase 'facilitator's toolkit'. Open the box itself and it's a box of handicraft treats... stickers in a range of colours, 2 sizes of circular card in everything from yellow to shocking pink, scissors, pin tacks in primary colours.

As befits the daughter of an erstwhile infant school teacher, I have been plundering the rainbow coloured stationery supplies and sticking and cutting, plus working my way through the fonts in Word that most resemble handwriting. Look out for my contribution to the Fair and be sure to award me a gold star for my efforts.
