City of Freiburg Environmental Education prize 2020
Our students are involved in the monitoring process of collecting the data we need to estimate our greenhouse gas emissions and environmental footprint, for example by reporting energy consumption and waste production for their student houses on a weekly basis. One of the main goals of our educational concept is educate and empower our students to become change makers: young adults who are excited about tackling one of the many problems that our world is facing today. As part of their education there, we introduce our students to a problem solving methodology on our Sustainability Special Focus Day challenging them to develop concrete solutions to environmental issues here on our campus, such as plastic or paper waste.
