For this purpose, a pilot project is to be started first, which will enable schools to redesign their schoolyards in a way that is close to nature.
“The application aims to remove bureaucratic hurdles and to organize support in the participation process as well as in brainstorming and implementation,” it says.
“We no longer want bureaucrats to design the schoolyards, but the school communities themselves, supported by experts and financed by the office,” explained Green City Councilor Anja Osiander (56).
