Bielefeld
In Bielefeld, too, there were not as many institutions participating as in other years due to Corona, but nevertheless 12 schools and 9 daycare centers collected 28,286 Children's Miles - many thanks to the 3,096 hard-working climate activists!

The three particpating classes of the Schillerschule from Herne have collected 281 miles. In doing so, they particularly dealt with the topic of "Klimaschutz auf dem Teller" (climate protection on the plate).
Höxter (District)
Children in the Höxter district have once again been busy collecting green miles. This year, 7,217 miles were collected. For one week each, the kindergarten and elementary school children documented their journeys with the help of a timetable.
"Thanks to the campaign, the children learn how to act in an environmentally friendly way through play. In addition, they were able to infect their parents with their verve and enthusiasm. And they were able to prove that every single one of them can contribute to climate protection on a daily basis."
says Martina Krog, Climate Protection Officer of the district of Höxter.
At the district level, the project, which has been introduced throughout Europe since 2002, took place for the eighth time.
"We are very happy that the Children's Miles campaign could take place this year despite the Corona pandemic. We are also pleased that we were able to encourage children to get out into the fresh air and do something good for themselves and the environment."

The routes to school during the campaign were done by bicycle, scooter or on foot whenever possible. School principal Alexandra Micheln reported:
"At times, not a single bicycle stand had been free. Even now, more children ride their bikes to school than before."

The Hackenbroich elementary school was again busy collecting miles from 30.9.-7.10.2020: 3100 green, 297 red and 199 blue miles were collected by the almost 370 children - that makes a total of 3596 miles!
"The children again enjoyed collecting green miles with the beautifully designed booklets and stickers. In 2nd grade, we wrote down and presented daily green footprints school travel stories."
The topic of "apples" was also discussed again and worked on in more depth in the science lessons.
The announced photos of the handover to the mayor have unfortunately not reached us - probably also due to Corona.

Lengerich
From the elementary school Hohne in Lengerich the 21 children of class 4a participated. Unfortunately, the campaign could not be completed with all children due to the lockdown. Nevertheless, 331 miles were collected under these difficult circumstances. "Many children were telling me that they talked to their parents about climate action, that they rode their bikes more and ate less meat. I am sure that the children will continue to use their knowledge of the importance of climate action and take it into account in their everyday lives."

The took the opportunity to collect Green Footprints for explaining the children the institutions of UN and the UN Climate Change Conference.
Because of covid-19 it is better to meet outside. Luckly, they have a big garden where there are still able to meet save – with mask of course. It’s truely nice to have such greatful neighbors! |
