Mallnitz as a role model: sustainability education for the future!

In Mallnitz, science becomes an exciting adventure for children! The concept of “Science Capital” enables little ones to fill a knowledge backpack full of experiences and connections to science. “Those who have more science capital are more likely to pursue a career in science and technology later,” explains Gudrun Batek, the coordinator of the First European Climate and Environmental Education Center in Mallnitz. Workshops and events not only promote scientific interest, but also strengthen social justice Click Carinthia reported.

Sustainability in focus

The practical approaches include learning mathematics through play and encouraging the urge to explore. The impressive initiative in Mallnitz aims to create a more sustainable society in the long term. New courses are planned for the coming months to provide further impetus for educational work. These innovative educational approaches not only contribute to strengthening the “science capital”, but also focus on an environmentally conscious future.

But what does sustainability actually mean? The Sustainability triangle combines the dimensions of ecology, economics and social issues and offers a comprehensive model for making sustainable decisions. The ecological dimension deals with the protection and preservation of the environment, while economic sustainability aims at strong and equitable economic growth. The social dimension promotes the participation of all people and respectful interaction with one another. The goal of these three areas is to create a fair and livable future for all generations, so that each individual is actively involved in the solutions to sustainably preserve our earth.
