ClimateLab: educational workshops for apprentices
ClimateLab workshops provide important background information on climate protection and project management. But that’s not all: the ClimateLab is also about thinking for yourself, developing ideas and implementing them. Because knowledge alone does not change anything.
Dedicated and motivated apprentices up to 25 years of age can register in consultation with their supervisor.

Mobilität ist für viele die Voraussetzung moderner Lebensqualität ‒ doch des einen Freud ist des anderen Leid: Mehr Verkehr bedeutet mehr Staus, Unfälle, Lärmbelastung und mehr Emissionen von Treibhausgasen. Lerne alles zum Mobilitäts-Mix der Zukunft.
The Topics of the ClimateLabs
Instead of dry theory, you will acquire knowledge through excursions, films, guided discussions, group tasks, or cooking a climate-friendly menu – all together with other learners. Everyone also brings their own topics and experiences to the workshop. This is how knowledge turns into real climate protection. The ClimateLab is built on four core topics, complemented by the project management module.
