Raise Environmental Awareness
In the process of exchanging ideas with team Aachen, we came into contact with the issue of environmental restoration.
Team GEMS-Taiwan : Beach Cleanup Participation Form
In August, we joined a beach cleanup held by GEMS_Taiwan at Shalun. Such activity aligns well with our team’s commitment to making a positive impact while working on iGEM projects. We share the concern for the environment as we hope our “CoPlat” can also help to make the place we live better, resonating with the values of iGEM. Joining activities outside of labs reminds and highlights us of the practical impact of our project on the environment as well as the precious opportunity for team bonding.

Team Aix-Marseille:a photo of a plant and our team members
In July, we received an invitation from Aix-Marseille to share with them a photo of us and a plant in our school. We posted the picture on our Instagram story and shared an anecdote about the tree in the picture. Sharing a story has brought about unexpected inspiration and positive responses. This endeavor goes beyond sharing a mere photo – it's an opportunity for interaction, enabling us to share our enthusiasm and mission with a broader audience. Through this collaboration, we not only conveyed our mission but sparked several ideas about social media strategies. We intend to integrate such experience into future promotional activities in different social media platforms to better promote our projects.
