Main target of the project "Education Network Forests and Climate – the Climate Experts” is to qualify pedagogic students in the field of forests and climate issues during their apprenticeship who later will work in educational institutions like kindergartens, schools or vocational schools. Furthermore the project aims to promote climate-friendly behavior in these educational institutions, especially in schools and kindergartens. The pedagogic participants will gather theory and didactic methods during specially developed and designed workshops by university, training center and kindergarten staff. Comparing to other projects in this field this is extraordinary because "Education Network Forests and Climate – the Climate Experts” will reach a large number of multipliers in an early stage of her professional development and not only those, who are already interested in forest and related issues. In addition and to multiply the outcome of the project schools and kindergartens will become partner of the project. They can reach to be a "Climate Expert School” or "Climate Expert Kindergarten” by winning an award. With a selection of projects and pedagogic initiatives for children, ideas are given to implement how forest and climate-friendly actions in schools and kindergartens can be put into practice. The best ideas from the participating schools will be awarded. To bring people, ideas and activities together, a continuous network will be established. Several meetings all over Germany will give experts the chance to meet and discuss all aspect of the close relationship between forests and climate. This will enhance the visibility of the whole topic in the field of education.
