Students at New Isenburg High School have initiated measures to curb alleged deceitful tactics being employed by their grandchildren.
Students from Brothers Grimm School Become Potential "GrandparentHeroes"
Class 10bR from the Brothers Grimm School in Neu-Isenburg has made a significant social contribution by participating in the "#GrandparentHeroes" competition organized by the Hessian Police. The competition aims to raise awareness about the dangers of the grandparent scam, a fraudulent scheme that targets elderly individuals.
The students' creative projects, designed particularly for seniors, helped them better understand the dangers of the grandparent scam. Their efforts, which included a comic, a card game, and a stop-motion film, were innovative and effective in educating about the methods of tricksters.
Their hard work was recognized, and they were invited to the South East Hesse Police Headquarters in Offenbach. There, they had the opportunity to present their project and discuss further measures for fraud prevention with experts from the E4 department of the police.
Their visit to the police headquarters was not just an educational experience, but also a fascinating one. They were given an exclusive tour, gaining an insight into the work of the police.
The school is proud of the students' engagement in the competition, with Police Commissioner Marco Gonnermann supporting their project. The class's efforts reached 18th place statewide, a testament to their dedication and creativity.
The school also expressed its gratitude to the Hessian Police for organizing the competition. The competition not only provided an opportunity for the students to learn and contribute, but also played a crucial role in protecting elderly people from the grandparent scam.
The students' work in the competition shows that they have the potential to become "#GrandparentHeroes" themselves, enlightening and preventing others from falling victim to this fraudulent scheme.
- The police, impressed by the students' efforts in the "#GrandparentHeroes" competition, recognized their potential for promoting education and self-development, especially in the area of personal growth.
- As they worked diligently on the competition, the students from Brothers Grimm School not only aimed to educate seniors about the grandparent scam but also demonstrated their commitment to becoming future "GrandparentHeroes".
