KLIMAfuchs of the S.O.F. – Environmental Foundation

The KLIMAfuchs initiative of the S.O.F. – Environmental Foundation offers daycare centers in Hamburg valuable support in the areas of climate protection and sustainable development. The focus of the funding program is the practical imparting of environmental awareness to establish sustainable actions early in everyday childhood education. Educational institutions gain access to a variety of measures through the program, such as training sessions, material packages, and a targeted energy audit, with which savings potentials can be identified and climate protection measures concretely implemented.

Within the framework of the project, comprehensive educational offerings are provided, aimed at pedagogical professionals, daycare center managers, and all individuals involved in early education. The training sessions are characterized by a varied mix of informative short lectures, interactive learning stations, and group work. These formats are complemented by specially compiled material packages that facilitate a practical introduction to climate protection while simultaneously promoting children's environmental awareness. Furthermore, the energy audit enables institutions to analyze their current resource consumption and implement targeted measures to increase energy efficiency. Thus, the program not only supports pedagogical work but also significantly contributes to ecological optimization within the institutions.

The funding is exclusively aimed at daycare centers based in Hamburg that wish to further professionalize their educational work around sustainable development and climate protection. Through continuous access to practical educational offerings, a sustainable contribution is made to improving everyday daycare life – from reducing energy consumption to fostering an environmentally conscious learning environment. The initiative thus makes an important contribution to the future-oriented design of the educational sector, in which environmental and nature conservation play a central role. With a holistic approach that considers both theoretical foundations and practical implementation, the KLIMAfuchs of the S.O.F. – Environmental Foundation supports daycare centers in actively addressing the challenges of climate change while simultaneously building valuable competencies in sustainable education.
