Mayor Visits Frielingen Primary School
Mayor joins students to brainstorm sustainable school upgrades
Pupils Celebrate New Wooden Building and Present Sustainability Ideas
As part of the "Mayor@School" initiative, Mayor Claudio Provenzano visited Frielingen Primary School. The student council expressed gratitude for the new wooden building on the school grounds and shared ideas for greater sustainability and improvements to the school's facilities.
"It's always inspiring to see how children as young as primary school age are actively engaged in shaping their school," said Mayor Provenzano after meeting with the school administration and student council. "Gathering ideas and working together to find solutions that work for everyone—this isn't just valuable for school life, it's the best possible practice for democratic participation!" He added, "We've also taken away many valuable insights from these discussions."
Among other proposals, the students presented the mayor with an energy-saving idea: installing motion sensors in the hallways instead of keeping the lights on continuously during school hours. The school administration also emphasized its commitment to integrating sustainability more deeply into daily school life. The mayor's mention of the "eZuG – Saving Energy for Garbsen's Future" project—supported both technically and educationally by the Hannover Region Climate Protection Agency—was particularly welcome.
Another topic discussed was the school's spatial needs. With the introduction of all-day operations, the former kitchen will become available. At the top of the children's wish list: a dedicated space for crafts or music lessons.
The consensus after the meeting was clear: the students love their school—and they really enjoy being there!
