26 schools in the district of Euskirchen: Discovered National Park Eifel as a place to learn!

Euskirchen, Deutschland - in the district of Euskirchen shine 26 schools as excellent national park schools in the Eifel National Park. This initiative of the NRW Environment and School Ministry promotes the integration of ecological topics into class and supports the students in actively dealing with environmental and nature conservation. Schools such as the Emil-Fischer-Gymnasium from Euskirchen have been qualified for this award for the first time, while other schools have already been honored several times with the prestigious title, explained Radio Euskirchen .

commitment and creative approaches

The role of the students goes beyond the classroom. They design natural school premises, develop habitats for insects and take responsibility for various animals that live in the schoolyards. Like National Park Eifel reported, the schools also implement creative and interdisciplinary projects that not only include excursions in nature, but also art, chemistry and even ethics. The Eifel National Park is a supportive partner behind these schools by providing further training and materials that support the curriculum and prepare the students for the topics of "forest, water and wilderness".

Successful certification and the exchange between schools show how important education is for nature conservation. Projects are documented so that schools can present their progress and actively address the challenges of the area. This strengthens awareness of nature and enlivens the educational approach in North Rhine-Westphalia.
