Shortly describe your project

The "Rescue Town" Project The project combines environmental education with creative activities in kindergarten. Children from all classes work together to create a shared "Rescue Town" from recycled materials, which is placed on the school compost heap for long-term observation. The main objectives of the project include educating children not to waste food, reducing the use of plastics, developing ecological thinking, and guiding children towards environmental responsibility. The project is implemented through class activities, culminating in a joint meeting in the kindergarten garden. Parents are also involved through the collection of plastic packaging and information leaflets. A long-term component is a weekly food waste audit and motivational stories for children, which are also shared with parents. The outcome is not only the physical "Rescue Town," but above all the adoption of ecological habits by children and the creation of a tradition that can be developed every year.
