Water cycle: the source of life

At the Hanau Environmental Center, participants can interactively explore the water cycle of a protected area in Costa Rica.

Experienced speakers from the Hanau Environmental Center offer the educational module “Water cycle in Germany and Costa Rica” to elementary school in the Rhine-Main region. The workshop, which is conducted according to the guidelines of Education for Sustainable Development, takes place either at the school or at the Hanau Environmental Center. It includes a theoretical and practical part in which the children experience the water cycle. The children build a water cycle in a jar that they can take home with them. The module is characterized by authentic educational material from Monte Alto, the Tropica Verde reforestation project in Costa Rica. There, the water cycle was restored through reforestation, which secured the river and the water supply for the population.

Education module | School: Secondary level I & II

Macaw and pineapple: rivals in the rainforest?

What does a colorful bird have to do with a tropical fruit? While growing pineapples in Costa Rica, pupils discover the connection between the destruction of the rainforest and the consumption of tropical products in an interdisciplinary way.

The workshop will be held at various locations in the Palmengarten in Frankfurt. In cooperation with the Green School of the Palm Garden, the educational module “Macaws and Pineapples” was developed with a focus on “Fair Trade” and “Organic Cultivation Methods” for secondary levels I and II. Using a variety of methods, they learn about the problem through learning stations, guided tours of the Tropicarium and role-playing, which also includes the living and working conditions of pineapple workers and their families. Solutions such as fair trade or organic farming are examined and options for action are developed and discussed.
