For teachers and parents Reach Team Schule/Bildung via bildung@zerowastekoeln.de for visits, materials, and volunteering (pedagogy helpful, not required). Why it matters Young people who learn separation and avoidance early carry those habits into adulthood, multiplying impact across households.educationschoolscologne

FundraiseCommunityBelgradeOutdoor science playgrounds for Serbian schoolsClassrooms without walls: nature labs in kindergarten and school yards KidHub and Ekonaut launched Naučna igrališta (Science Playgrounds): an education programme that turns kindergarten and primary-school yards into outdoor learning landscapes. Raised beds, sensory paths, insect hotels, and hands-on experiments replace asphalt-only recreation with living classrooms for children aged four to twelve. What you can do - Educators and parents: support the crowdfunding campaign on Dobri Dabar to fund playgrounds in two kindergartens and two primary schools - Schools with pilot sites in Belgrade: request a visit to see the Mali zeleni prsti (Little Green Fingers) methodology in action - Municipalities: adapt the programme for your district, teacher training, curriculum guides, and built elements ship as a package How it works Teachers attend seminars, receive a practical handbook, and get mentoring while children learn through planting, biodiversity observation, and collaborative experiments in the yard. Why it matters Climate literacy grows best through touch, soil, and play. Outdoor science yards give every child a daily relationship with the living world.educationschoolsplayground +2

LearnCommunityBrasiliaHost the travelling SESI Lab near youHost the travelling SESI Lab near you SESI Lab Itinerante packs about ten interactive apparatuses plus a workshop area so the museum experience can travel across the Distrito Federal and other Brazilian states. Schools and local partners can request the kit and add teacher formation shaped to local needs, and everything the museum builds is mirrored in a free digital acervo. What you can do - Explore the travelling exhibits and oficinas in the acervo Itinerante - Ask your school network, municipal culture desk, or SESI regional office how to host a stop - Rebuild the workshop recipes (light badges, motor cars, electric insects, conductive dough) in a classroom, using the published tutorials - Run the free digital exhibition BioOCAnomia Amazônica with students: it puts bioeconomy, biodiversity conservation, and reducing climate change impacts at the centre of Amazonian development How it works The itinerant set carries a slice of the long-duration exhibition and of the educational action programme. Hosts negotiate dates and training with SESI Lab, so there is no permanent street pin because the venue moves. The digital acervo stays open to anyone with a connection, at no cost. Why it matters Inquiry science should not stop at the Rodoviária. A travelling lab plus an open archive lets a distant classroom touch the same phenomena, and reuse the same lesson, as the Esplanada galleries.itinerantschoolseducation +2
