Interactive exhibition for young people
Vernissage: 12 January 2016, 6 p.m. (with a New Year´s reception for teachers of German)
„Rethinking – learning from nature“ is an exhibition about the importance of the four elements water, fire, earth and air for human beings.
By presenting surprising facts and a multitude of positive and negative examples, the exhibition is appealing to the emotions of the young visitors, they are involved in the hands-on-activities and can find suggestions, how each and every one can contribute to protect the environment better.
Our exhibition is targeted at school-age children and young people interested in German language as well as in science subjects. It aims to raise awareness of the environment. It does not attempt to communicate simple messages: instead, it aims at inspiring visitors to continue looking into the theme – maybe by using our website on this subject, but of course also in their school classes, in form of projects or topic-based activities. The exhibition is combining learning German with environment protection – and the topic can be explored better through interdisciplinary teacher´s cooperation.
You can make a reservation for a
free-of-charge tour of the exhibition; for groups (7-25 persons)
a pre-registration is mandatory.
