New outdoor class at BG Wolkersdorf: A holiday for sustainability!

In Wolkersdorf, a promising project was launched that creates a new learning space and at the same time promotes the principles of environmental protection and ecological education. The Bundesgymnasium Wolkersdorf recently ceremoniously opened its new “outdoor class”, which as part of the school concept puts the topics of sustainability and ecology in the foreground.

The basic idea behind this initiative was created during new considerations to green the school. It quickly became clear that a lesson -friendly outdoor area not only improves the learning atmosphere, but can also sharpen the environmental awareness of the students. In close cooperation between parents, teachers and the students themselves, the outdoor class was planned and realized.

diverse support and financing

The implementation of this innovative class would not have been possible without the committed support and financing by various sources. The parents' association, private sponsors and different funding, including from the educational directorate and the municipality of Wolkersdorf, contribute to the financial basis of the project. A particularly remarkable contribution came from the students who collected a significant sum for the construction of the outdoor class through a benefit run.

This community commitment not only led to a new learning space, but also strengthened the feeling of togetherness within the school community.

ceremony with prominent guests

The official opening was celebrated by various representatives of the project and sponsors. Among those present were Mayor Dominic Litzka, the representative of Raiffeisenbank Wolkersdorf, Reinhard Kerbl, the chairwoman of the parents' association, Sarah Ritzerow, and director Josef Klug. Their presence underlined the importance of this new learning location for the school community and social cohesion.

The outdoor class is not just a new room for learning, but a completely new approach to class. Here, ecological topics can be treated in practice, which makes the concepts more tangible and relevant. Teachers can adapt the lessons to the environment and thus create an even deeper understanding of nature and environmental protection.

In addition, this freedom also offers a way to promote creative learning and to enable the students to recover times in nature - aspects that are often neglected in normal school life.

Overall, the opening of the outdoor class shows how education and environmental protection can go hand in hand, and offers an exciting perspective for future generations at school.
