The Project Butterfly, hanke lisää ympäristötietoutta oopperan luomisessaja tavoittelee osallistamaan lukion opiskelijoita kirjoittamaan ekologiseen teemaan perustuva ooppera ja osallistumaan sen tuottamiseen kestävän ke hityksen näkökulmasta.
Ooppera, jonka työnimenä on ”Elementit tulevaisuudelle”, koostuu kolmesta noin 30 minuutin pituisesta näytöksestä. Teoksen aiheena on ympäristö: vesi (Gdansk), ilma (Helsinki) ja maa (Modena). Lukion opiskelijat lähtevät liikkeelle ympäristöasioista ja hyödyntävät monitieteellistä tutkimusta, joka suunnitellaan yhteistyössä opettajien kanssa. Hanke yhdistää tuotantotekniikat, digitaalisen taiteen, median ja syvällisen ympäristöongelmien tutkinnan. Libreton ja musiikin kehittää projektin kolmen kumppanimaan oopperatalon valitsemat säveltäjät ja libretistit. Projektiin osallistuu kolme lukion luokkaa.
Yhteiskehittämismatka etenee seuraavasti:
Opiskelijoiden tapaamiset ennakoivat työryhmien luomista ja aktiivista osallistumista itse opiskelijoiden itsensä toimesta. AESS ja kaksi muuta mukana olevaa ympäristöjärjestöä Gdanskissa ja Helsingissä luovat työskentelymenetelmän. Ympäristöjärjestöt seuraavat opettajia ja opiskelijoita prosessin eri vaiheissa tutkien mahdollisuuksia käyttää tekstuaalisia ja muita viitteitä (esim. asiakirjat, arkistot, verkkosivut, audiovisuaaliset materiaalit, musiikki), digitaalisia ja ei-digitaalisia, suorittaa vierailuja taiteellisiin ja historiallisiin paikkoihin alueella (museot, näyttelyt, teatterit jne.) inspiraationlähteinä opiskelijoiden tarinan luonnostelua varten. Lisäksi opiskelijoita kannustetaan osallistumaan tapaamisiin muiden opiskelijoiden ja ilmastoon liittyvien nuorisoyhdistysten edustajien (esim. Fridays for Future) kanssa.
Aikana first student meeting, all partners involved in Project Butterfly had the opportunity to view videos showcasing the work of opiskelijat from Italy, Poland, and Finland. The creation of these videos was supported by the multimedia agency partner Tätä varten multimediatoimistokumppanimme Heimspiel on seurannut yhteisluomisprosessin jokaista vaihetta ja auttanut kääntämään opiskelijoiden kestävän kehityksen vision kiinnostaviksi animaatiovideoiksi tekoälyn tuottamien kuvien ja 3D-sovellusten avulla., ensuring a professional and impactful presentation.
Seuraavat videot edustavat kunkin luokan ainutlaatuista näkemystä koskien kestävyys omassa kontekstissaan. Tämän yhteistyön avulla opiskelijat välittivät tehokkaasti näkemyksiään ja ajatuksiaan kestävästä kehityksestä ja toivat esiin erilaisia lähestymistapoja ja luovia ratkaisuja, joita different cultural perspectives.
Now it’s your turn to watch the results of our students’ co-creation videos below!
Tällä videolla opiskelijat Otaniemen Lukio High School (Helsinki) jakavat ajatuksiaan osallistuttuaan valaiseviin luentoihin ja kestävyyttä käsitteleviin aktiviteetteihin osana Butterfly-hanketta. Uuden tiedon ja arvokkaan panoksen myötä he keskustelevat siitä, miten nuoret ja vanhemmat sukupolvet voivat työskennellä yhdessä, taiteen voiman yhdistämänä, luodakseen yhdessä parempi tulevaisuus tuleville sukupolville.

Uppoutukaamme oppilaiden luovalle matkalle!
Tässä oivaltavassa videossa oppilaat koulun Selmi High School (Modena) jakavat mielipiteitään kestävyydestä osana Butterfly-hanketta. Keskitytään teemaan maa (kuten heidän librettotarinansa), oppilaat keskustelevat kierrätyksen kaltaisista käytännöistä ja korostavat, että on tärkeää suojella meidän planeetan terveys ja turvallisen tulevaisuuden varmistaminen tuleville sukupolville. Tämä mukaansatempaava haastattelumuoto korostaa nuoren sukupolven intohimoa ja sitoutumista kestävän maailman luomiseen.
Heimspielin editoimassa videossa esitellään mukaansatempaavia työpajoja ja yhteistoiminnallisia toiminta hankekumppaneiden kanssa, ja korostetaan nuorten aktiivista osallistumista ja innovatiivisia ideoita, jotka ovat omistautuneet vaikuttamaan asioihin. Seurataan oppilaiden luovaa prosessia!
Tämä video näyttää opiskelijoiden matkan High School No. 6 (Gdansk), jotka ovat olleet mukana hankkeessa alusta alkaen omistautuneiden opettajiensa ansiosta.

Useiden työpajojen (kuten Mozartin oopperatyöpaja) ja kouluprojektien ansiosta meidän nuoret oppinut, miten pienillä asioilla, sekä aikuisten että nuorten toimesta, voi olla yhtä suuri merkitys. Myös taide ja opera voivat olla esimerkkejä kestävyydestä, kun taas hallitukset ottavat käyttöön lakeja planeetan suojelemiseksi. Tarkkaillaan oppilaiden luomistyötä!
Kun tiedämme voittajajoukkueet, on aika jakaa kanssanne kolmen opiskelijan tarinat! On vaikuttavaa, miten monitahoisia ja viisaita heidän työnsä ovat - niistä löytyy monia yleismaailmallisia aiheita, kuten syyllisyyden, häpeän, sairauden ja tietysti ilmastokriisin ja ihmisen osuuden käsitteleminen siinä. Kolme tarinaa valittiin, mutta yhteensä lähetettiin yhdeksän ehdotusta. Jos olet utelias, lue kaikki tarinat digitaalisesta kirjakokoelmasta. Opiskelijoiden yhteiskehittämismatka.

THE LAKE OF ASHES
According to Salacja the Lake of Ashes at night resembled a bottomless pit. Its surface, entirely black because of the thick layer of ash, which it owns its name from, doesn’t reflect pale rays of the moon and wind can’t brake it. Only slowly floating bottles disturb the beauty of this place, ineptly trying to copy the stars. On her parents death anniversary Salacja is coming to this lifeless lake because, that caused their dead. Sanacja lost her beloved Fotyn too. One most precious thing reminding her of him is the silver medallion.
The Lake of Ashes used to be the heart of all the waters, Elpids Lake. It was a source of power, all the rivers flowed out from it, it was from it that the waters powered each body of water. It gave all the strength and healing. But people with time became prideful, stopped paying attention to the world that surrounded them, they didn’t care that the lake was dying because of them. Every garbage, that was found in the lake, took part in the creation of the virus. It took the form of a large sea monster, whose skin resembled tar it which all possible contaminations had gathered. Disgusting with ashes pouring from its eyes, its teeth were like a thousand sharpened blades. He was infecting everything and everyone with himself. Animals were practically non-existent and in the near future people were to share their fate.
Once by the lake her foot slipped into the water, she got infected and passed it unconsciously on Fotyn. watched him slowly dying, his heart burning into ashes. She knows, it is her fault. Alone, with virus polluting her body, her life dosen’t make sense. Overwhelmed with loneliness and feeling of guilt, she takes the boat and enters the water with no fear. Wearing a white to dress and holding the medalion she jumps into the lake. Unexpectedly she lands in a beautiful word of nature, like the one Fotyn had told her about. Her senses are sharp, she feels peace. She encounters an old man with a wise look, Protazy, who shows her the sourrounding and tells the story of the lake. She thought that the Elpids Lake was gone forever. She’s confused about where and why she landed. Fotyn accours. Together they walk among flowers in all colors of the rainbow, trees and shrubs abundant in various fruits. View, that she didn’t see for a long time. The crystal clear water seems like a dream to her. Fotyn corrects her it beeing the future and jumps joyfully into the Elpids Lake. He disappears under the surface. The spot turns into a black hole that keeps getting bigger and turns into infamous lake of ashes. Salacja rushes to save him. She won’t let the monster take Fotyn away again. Despite her effort, he’s gone. She feels, that she let him down once again.
Suddenly she is being pulled down, deeply in the lake and glances at her torturer. The ugly monster that is a gross conglomeration of pollution. With all her strength she tries to get out. However, it is all in vain. It’s dark, her lungs start to burn because of lack of oxygen, the fear filles every cell of her body. A bright glaring light from nowhere. She feels the warmth on her neck. Medallion. Pressing it tightly to her heart she realizes, that Fotyn didn’t leave her. He is with her giving her hope that she can win. The medallion ripped from her neck turns suddenly into a huge glowing sword. She won’t let the monster hurt any more people and lifts weapon over… People working this day on the waters of the Lake of Ashes, trying to find the way to get rid of the virus, notice an empty boat and white fabric floating. A man sees the girl in the water, grabbes her waist strongly and tries to bring to the water surface. Running out of power slowly loses contact with reality, virus slowly pulls him in the dark. Again the medallion emanats warm light, colors accur all around. The once black water is now crystal clear and Anatol feels his body gaining strength. On board Salacja is slowly regaining and along with the rest she admires how thanks to her will to fight and the hope Fotyn aroused in her, the world was reborn again.
EPILOGUE – Tv news:The Lake of Ashes regained its original name of Lake Elpida. The virus has been defeated, life is slowly being reborn again.

Introduction: The story originates from daily actions connected to the wrong disposal of waste.
Furthermore, there is the idea of an empty damaged land whose condition influences human health. During a nice autumn day, Perla, a young selfish woman who is not aware of the consequences of her actions, together with her friends, Gemma and Leonardo, came back home after a dinner in a fast food, leaving some waste on the ground. A passer-by noticed it and picked it up to throw it in the right bin for disposal, but the group of friends made fun of him. Once home, Perla got a call from her doctor, who told her he had found in her last blood test theexistence of a serious disease caused by pollution. Upset and confused, Perla lay down on her bed, asking herself about the reason why this terrible thing had happened to her and about what she had done to deserve it, until she fell asleep. During the night, Perla had a dream that touched her deeply; when she woke up she reflected on it and became aware of herself and of the world that surrounded her: touched deeply with the sense of guilt for her damaging lifestyle and for the contribution to the environmental degradation, she decided to change her life and not to give up to the disease.
When Gemma and Leonardo found out that Perla was ill, they decided to go and see her. Once they arrived, she told them about a dream she had had the night before. At first, she found herself wandering in a forest, where creatures lived happily. But suddenly everything mutated. Nature around her began to change, it had become a future , dystopic and chaotic environment, caused by human actions . When Perla woke up, she knew she decided she wanted to help the planet. As soon as she heard about the flooding in Romagna, Perla rushed there to help. There she met Luca, who was assisting those affected by the disaster, and even though Perla was surprisingly ill, she dug her heels on helping them. Luca noticed how hard she was working and, after he knew about her illness, he decided to stop her, lest she should damage her health. Luca thanked her for her dedication, but advised her to avoid working too hard. Then he started telling her about his activist work and the fact that he was supposed to go to Asia to look after the living conditions of the people living near the graphite mines. But he couldn’t do that because he had to organise rescue work in Romagna. Perla insisted on going in his stead.

When she arrived at the village, Perla waited to talk to doctor Li, who was the one in charge for the project. While she was waiting, Perla heard some screams coming from the doctor’s office: getting close, she noticed Li and a man arguing. The man, furious, hit the doctor and went away. Perla reached Li in order to help her and make sure she was okay, and they started talking. Li told her about the man she was arguing with, whose name was Zao. He was the chief of a multinational graphite extraction company, who accused the doctor of spreading damaging information for the company.
Perla and Li became friends but during their meeting, Perla felt bad and Li visited her: she told her about a plant named Hemidesmus Bazzicus, that could heal her. The doctor took her to a hidden botanical garden, full of healing plants, from which she created natural remedies for her patients. When the two went to the garden, Zao followed them and confessed that he was ill. He asked Li to help him, offering her some money, but she refused as she was still angry about what had happened before.
When Perla found the cure for herself, she convinced Li to heal Zao. Finally the man, to thank them, turned his company into a sustainable organization.
