Forest kindergartens in the region
Forest and nature kindergartens offer children a wide breadth of experience over the entire cycle of the year. The RAPUNZEL One World Organic Foundation therefore supports nature education centres in the Allgäu and Upper Swabia.
In 2022 and 2023 the RAPUNZEL One World Organic Foundation supported five nature education institutions in its region, the Allgäu, and neighbouring Upper Swabia with a donation at the end of the year. It is intended to facilitate the individual annual planning of the respective organisation.
The foundation will continue its commitment to forest and nature kindergartens in the region.
“Especially in times when more and more is happening online, it is so valuable for children to be able to playfully discover, explore and create outdoors in nature,” explains Rosalie Dorn, member of the foundation’s Executive Board. “We therefore value forest kindergartens as a wonderful development space for children. Anyone who is allowed to gain these experiences through play will take responsibility for the environment and act sustainably much more naturally as an adult.”
“Children are not played with in our centres. Instead, they learn to play freely with everything they find in nature. It opens up a whole new world through play, there are no limits to creativity,” emphasises Monika Schneider, head of the nature kindergarten in the municipality of Kisslegg – a motivation and an experience shared by other nature education facilities.
