Email for Inviting Other (nearby) Schools (nearby) as Collaborators

Dear sir/madam, Our school is pleased to inform you that we are conducting a #EduFoodHack hybrid hackathon!

A hackathon is a rather fluid concept which essentially entails a short intensive event in which participants from all walks of life, with all sorts of expertise, work together to solve complex issues. When a hackathon uses technology to more efficiently collaborate, not only face to face but also online, it is called a hybrid hackathon. #EduFoodHack is an initiative that addresses food waste issues through collaboration between classrooms in different European countries.

Through this hybrid hackathon, our students will be thoroughly researching and solving real-world societal issues using creative and innovative methods, allowing them to create for themselves a hugely valuable learning experience. They will learn and ideate together and provide feedback on eachother, further enhancing the solutions they come up with.

Our school has chosen to take up the challenge to help tackle food waste and to make education grow alongside the needs and wants of both our students and society as a whole. We want to maximise the impact of this initiative. So we are looking for other schools that are willing to partner up with us in taking up this challenge.

The #EduFoodHack will offer your school and your students the opportunity to discover and experience education innovation and to make the connection with the real world, through real-life problem solving and Design Thinking. This method, which has proven itself time and time again, will give a boost to the development of your students towards becoming competent, knowledgeable and experienced people who are well prepared for their future carreers.

We would be thrilled if your school is willing to participate in making this initiative possible, offering this experience to as many students as possible and bettering the world in a very concrete, practical manner.

We look forward to hearing from you so we can speak about our plans and how we can be of help to eachother!
