How should she explain such a complex topic to the little girl? The project „Connected Education for Sustainable Development at Primary Schools“ of the Koordinationsstelle Umweltbildung und Globales Lernen, KUGL (Coordinator for Environmental Education and Global Learning) supports primary schools in organizing environmental education and global learning in a forward-
looking way.

Fit for the future with lively learning
The institution plans and coordinates the activities for the lessons, gives advice on the development of didactic teaching materials, offers trainings for the teachers and guarantees the scientific collaboration. Environmental education and global learning can be integrated clearly and vividly into the lessons. Global questions and everyday topics like nutrition, waste, agriculture, water or energy are experienced in form of small projects. The active participation through the pupils, the inclusion of ethical values and questions as well as an intensive parents work have a high level.
