Solingen's City Works & DUA Offer Free Energy Education to Elementary Schools
Solingen's City Works, in collaboration with the German Environmental Action Association (DUA), are offering free energy education to local elementary schools this academic year. The program aims to teach children about electricity and heating in a fun and engaging way. Since its inception, the program has reached 877 classes and approximately 22,000 students. It covers topics such as the origin of electricity, CO2 and its role in climate change, and energy-saving methods for school and home. Mechthild Köhncke from DUA uses visual experiments to make the lessons engaging and memorable for the students. Twelve elementary schools in Solingen have booked the energy education program for their fourth graders this semester. Katrin Schirrmacher, spokesperson for Solingen's City Works, emphasizes the importance of teaching children about energy and resource mindfulness. The city of Solingen receives its electricity supply primarily from Bergische Licht-, Kraft- und Wasserwerke GmbH (BELKAW), the local municipal utility company responsible for the region's power distribution. Solingen's City Works, with the support of DUA, are committed to promoting energy education among local youth. By teaching children about energy and its impact on the environment, the program aims to foster a generation of mindful energy consumers and protectors of nature.
