In the model project KiNa - Kindergarten and Sustainability , sustainability mentors are trained nationwide who are supposed to support kindergartens in sustainable development.
The model project Lebendiger Weinberg aims to bring more biodiversity back into the local vineyards without making cultivation more difficult. In the model project thirst for knowledge - ways to sustainable consumption and sustainable school meals , climate protection , landscape, agriculture, healthy nutrition and exercise, but also regional cycles, biological diversity , nature experience and resource conservation are linked.
