We make fit for the climate: Lainsitztal's climate sleuths

Klima- und Energiefonds

Climate Change Adaptation Region Lainsitztal

In the project “Wir machen klimafit: Lainsitztaler Klima-Spürnasen”, four VS including two ASO classes and one MS of KLAR! Lainsitztal are comprehensively addressing the key topic of “climate change adaptation” for the first time.

The pupils are not only out and about in the school building and on the school grounds as climate detectives, but - as a highlight - they are also active as climate village detectives. The results offer valuable added value, as options for action will be developed not only in school, but also for public spaces for the first time. In addition, workshops, company visits, educational excursions and school garden projects on the topic of climate change adaptation are used for hands-on work, reflection, critical scrutiny and the development of visions and adaptation options.


The issue of skills shortages is a consistent aspect of all school activities. Through career presentations, cooperation with regional companies, visits to the largest job fair in the Waldviertel region and apprentice taster days, pupils learn about green jobs and climate-relevant professions.
