Magical projects: Waidhofen schools shape the future sustainable

In the Waidhofen on the Thaya district, an exciting project started to inspire young people for sustainability. Under the inspiring motto "Magically sustainable: circular economy, workshop magic and green jobs", five schools have the opportunity to actively take part in an extensive project year. The focus is not only on theoretical aspects, but also practical experiences that are made possible by the students.

A total of 180 pupils from the BRG/BG and the HAK Waidhofen, the HTL Karlstein, as well as the NMS Dobersberg and Groß Siegharts are part of the project. The project is supported by the climate & energy model region Future area Thayaland, which already defined the goals together with the participants last spring. Project coordinators like Christine Papst and the manager Christina Hirsch are now looking forward to the implementation of the planned activities.

practical experience and workshop participation

The school groups already took part in the Waldviertel job fair in September, which was a positive experience for everyone involved. In the coming months, both workshops and excursions will be planned as part of the lesson. These offers should not only give the pupils insight into different companies, but also encourage them to think critically and actively search for solutions. Learning by acting is very important here!

The respective commitment of the students and teachers shows how common efforts can lead to a better understanding of our environment and the potential challenges. Through projects like this, the youth gives the youth a platform on which it can actively participate in changes that are important for the future.

A well -known example from the surrounding area would also be the folk dance group, which proudly looks back on its numerous appearances and prices won. The State Prize for Climate Change Adaptation, which was awarded in Thayaland, also shows that there is a lot of commitment and interest in environmentally friendly initiatives.
