Climate change activists, primarily youth, in Kitas, Horten, and primary schools of Osnabrück invite everyone to join the Kindermeile project 2025. Participation encouraged.
Ready to embark on a climate-friendly journey with the kids of Osnabrück? That's the spirit of the Children's Mile project, underway once again in this city! Already, kindergartens, schools, and after-school programs have signed up, with more invited to join the crusade for a greener Osnabrück − all in the name of climate protection and sustainable mobility.
Don't miss the deadline: City facilities can still register their budding eco-warriors by February 20 to track their "Green Miles". These will be presented to participants at the UN climate conference in Brazil this November as part of the European Climate Alliance's astounding efforts. Mark your calendars, as the action runs from March 17 to May 23. Sign up now by emailing Birgit Rademacher at [email protected].
With playful engagement, the Children's Mile project immerses children in the world of climate change, mobility, and sustainability. By logging their everyday journeys on foot, scooter, bicycle, or public transportation, the kids document their "green miles" in a collection booklet. Bonus points can even be earned for blue energy miles and red miles from the nutrition block, emphasizing that a climate- friendly lifestyle involves changes in all facets of life. Through this action, the children's wishes will be gathered and submitted to local politicians at the June closing festival at the zoo, while the grand total will be presented at the climate conference in Brazil.
As part of the city's broader effort towards becoming climate- neutral by 2040 at the latest, the Children's Mile project is a key component of the ongoing "Climate Protection and Climate Education" initiative. Special training sessions for educators help integrate climate education into daily life at kindergartens in a fun and engaging manner. This year, a training session on climate-friendly nutrition is in the works for April.
This push for sustainability not only informs children about environmental issues but also equips them to become champions of a greener future. The Children's Mile project plays a vital role in fostering long-term environmental stewardship among the younger generation and engaging the broader community in climate protection efforts, setting an inspiring example for cities across the globe. So, put on your green caps and join the family-friendly crusade for a greener planet!
