In the heart of Wiesbaden, the Nature Pedagogical Centre Fasanerie played host to an important gathering of early childhood education specialists. The event, organised by the Hessian Ministry of Labour, Integration, Youth and Social Affairs (HMSI), the Green Space Department, Coordination Office Climate Education Landscape Wiesbaden, and the Department of Social Affairs, Kindergartens and Daycare, of the State Capital Wiesbaden, aimed to discuss the implementation of climate protection, climate change adaptation, and sustainability in early childhood education.

Mayor Christiane Hinninger expressed her delight that the expert dialogue took place at the Fasanerie, an outstanding institution in Wiesbaden for nature pedagogical offers and climate education. The gathering, which saw approximately 50 early childhood education specialists in attendance, was part of a new statewide event series initiated by the HMSI and regional partners to provide impulses for climate education in early childhood education.

Councilor Bettina Gies highlighted the careful and cross-departmental preparatory work that has built the climate education landscape in Wiesbaden since the 1980s. State Secretary Manuela Strube emphasised the importance of early childhood education in laying the foundation for sustainable thinking and responsible action.

Practical offers, like the expert dialogue, are crucial tools for specialists to learn how to integrate climate education in a playful way in kindergartens and daycare. Networking with local offers at the expert dialogue also strengthens the quality of educational work. Kerstin Jacobs from the Coordination Office Climate Education Landscape Wiesbaden made the statement about the event series.

For those interested in learning more about the event, the press release can be found on the website of the State Capital Wiesbaden. Further dialogue formats are planned as part of this statewide event series. The responsible department or office can be contacted by citizens with any questions.

The Fasanerie, with its rich history and commitment to nature pedagogy and climate education, provided the perfect backdrop for this important discussion. As the experts continue to network and collaborate, the future of climate education in Wiesbaden and beyond looks promising.
