Dedicated schools in the forest and Mostviertel excellent for sustainable future

Last weekend, over 70 school representatives from the Waldviertel and the Mostviertel in the Hluw Yspertal gathered to take part in a solemn award ceremony. This event honors the efforts of schools to promote sustainable development. Director Gerhard Hackl and school quality manager Andrea Strohmayer headed the ceremony while praising the outstanding engagements of the participating schools.

"The jury had a hard time selecting only three projects per category. Every initiative submitted contributes to sustainable development at schools," said Hackl. This praise is reflected in the large number of creative projects presented by the schools.
