'100 Green Classrooms' in Dreierwalde

image author: Stadt Hörstel

Nature's living spaces are an ideal place for learning and playing, which offer outstanding conditions for sustainable education work. '100 Green Classrooms' – a project by the Regionale 2004 – wants to create enthusiasm for ecological, caring and social connections. This action wants to stimulate thinking about the theme water, countryside, agriculture in the Münsterland and to actively shape the environment.

In the course of this project, school children as well as teachers of the St.-Anna primary school Dreierwalde in cooperation with the rural youth and the school's association at the starting point 'Lünnemann's Pättken', as a meaningful addition to the nature path, planted 9 lime trees in a square as sponsors and thus, document the project's goals. According to the motto 'Experience nature, recognise nature, understand nature, preserve nature', the 'Green Classroom' is to contribute that children walk through nature with their eyes open and comprehend changes in nature. In the course of school lessons in the open air, microbes and vegetation can be examined more closely.
