ACtive for Future

We support you in making everyday school life more environmentally friendly, fairer and more future-oriented. Whether it's saving energy, avoiding waste or making the schoolyard greener - we bring ideas, tips and financial support directly to you!

Latest news

The United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) affect us all - they promote a good life for everyone and protect our environment at the same time.

You can also contribute to this at your school! That's why we support you with the ACtive for Future school program!

How do you get to school - are there more climate-friendly alternatives? How can pupils help decide? Is there space on the school grounds for a meadow that can be a home for insects? Sustainability starts with small steps: saving energy, fair clothing, avoiding waste or climate protection projects - what can you do?

Our offer for you consists of:

Involve as many people as possible - teachers, school management, parents and janitors. We, from the Climate and Environment and Facility Management departments, will support you in making your school more sustainable.

Workshop offers

Every year, we offer a wide range of workshops on the topic of sustainability. The workshops are open to anyone who wants to make their school (even) more sustainable. Teachers, school social workers, school administrators, OGS staff, janitors and pupils aged 14 and over are equally welcome.
