The news in 2023 is coming thick and fast: new heat records, floods, fires and extreme weather. The climate crisis has also reached us. What does this mean for teaching and learning content in schools? How does the structural design of schools need to be changed? What are the biggest practical obstacles and who supports teachers and all other users? These and other topics in the context of climate protection and climate adaptation will be presented and discussed by inspiring guests at the 25th symposium on climate protection in schools under the motto “Cool head despite heat shock?”. After the opening by State Secretary for the Environment Britta Behrendt, State Secretary for School Construction Dr. Torsten Kühne will present “The Berlin school construction offensive and its requirements for energy efficiency, heat adaptation and solar roofs” in a keynote speech.

The topics range from green schoolyard design to practical energy saving, the inclusion of solar panels in lessons, rainwater and waste projects and insider tips for exciting climate action days.
