Wiesbaden, Germany - A specialist dialogue focused on integrating climate education into early childhood education took place recently at the Nature Pedagogical Center Fasanerie. Approximately 50 early childhood education specialists gathered to discuss the implementation of climate protection, climate change adaptation, and sustainability in kindergartens and daycare services.

The event, which is part of a new statewide event series, was organised by the Hessian Ministry of Labor, Integration, Youth and Social Affairs (HMSI), the Green Space Department, Coordination Office Climate Education Landscape Wiesbaden, and the Social Affairs Office, Department of Daycare Centers and Daycare Services, of the state capital Wiesbaden.

Councilor Bettina Gies, who hosted the dialogue, emphasised the groundwork that has been laid since the 1980s in Wiesbaden's climate education landscape. The climate education landscape in Wiesbaden has a successful, careful, and cross-departmental foundation, thanks to the efforts made over the past few decades.

State Secretary for Social Affairs Manuela Strube stated that early childhood education lays the foundation for sustainable thinking and responsible action. The specialist dialogue aims to help children understand and learn how to protect the planet.

Mayor and Environmental Commissioner Christiane Hinninger expressed delight that the specialist dialogue took place at the Fasanerie. The Fasanerie is considered an outstanding institution in Wiesbaden for nature pedagogical offers and climate education.

Practical offers like the specialist dialogue are important tools for specialists to learn how to integrate climate education in kindergartens and daycare services in a playful way. Networking among specialists and with regional offers is another positive effect of the specialist dialogue, which further strengthens the quality of educational work.

The Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden published this press release, and further dialogue formats are planned as part of the statewide event series for climate education in early childhood education. The press release can be found on the website of the Press Office of the State Capital Wiesbaden: press office website.
