Unveiling H2O's Mystery: An Inside Look into the Enigma of Water

In the vibrant city of Hagen, Germany, the Hohenlimburg Knowledge Project is making waves. This innovative initiative, spearheaded by Kulturzentrum Werkhof, is focused on educating children and schools about the importance of sustainable water management.

The project, which continues a three-year tradition known as the little Alexander von Humboldt series, takes place in various locations such as nature reserves, the Werkhof Stage, and the Kulturzentrum Werkhof itself. This year, the project will feature three action days, each with a focus on water, and two musical performances by Michael and Markus Grimm.

One of the action days will take place on the extensive grounds of the Biotop Koenigsee. Here, children will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on educational activities, learning about the role of water in local ecosystems and the importance of water conservation.

A highlight of the action day was a demonstration of a root water game, which showed the amount of water a tree needs and the importance of forests as water reservoirs. Another activity involved filtering dirty water into clean drinking water using pebbles, activated carbon, and filter material.

School principal Nikola Scheibel expressed her delight with the action day idea and implementation, while Ralf Blauscheck aims to strengthen the network of nature and environment associations in Hagen, working closely with Kulturzentrum Werkhof to bring interactive learning to children and young people throughout the city in the future.

The project also provides a platform for local clubs, associations, and municipal institutions to create a wide range of biological experiments, music, and fun for children and older visitors. This collaborative approach ensures a diverse and engaging learning experience for all participants.

The first-grader Diav was particularly impressed, listing examples of regenerative energy production, such as wind turbines and solar panels, that he had learned during the project.

In a heartwarming touch, students who completed all stations received ice cream and popcorn from AWO employees Gerald Groß and Magdalena Walthes. The enthusiasm and eagerness of the students demonstrate the project's success in engaging and educating the younger generation about sustainable water management and environmental awareness.
