Solingen's City Works Teaches Energy to 22,000 Students
Solingen's City Works has launched an engaging energy education program, reaching over 877 classes and approximately 22,000 students. The initiative, in collaboration with the German Environmental Action Association (DUA), aims to teach children about electricity and heating in a fun and interactive way.
Mechthild Köhncke, associated with Deutsche Umwelthilfe e.V., uses visual experiments to make the lessons engaging. Topics covered include the origin of electricity, the role of CO2 in climate change, and energy savings at school and home. This academic year, the program is offered free to local elementary schools, with twelve schools booking the offer for their fourth graders.
Katrin Schirrmacher, spokesperson for Solingen's City Works, highlights the importance of teaching energy topics in schools. The DUA, founded in 1958, has been dedicated to integrating nature conservation into the school system.
Solingen's City Works, in collaboration with DUA, is successfully educating children about energy and its impact. The program, offered free to local schools, is expected to continue making a positive impact on environmental awareness.
