Opening hours from 10.00 am to 4.00 pm

Blue hour from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Main topics:

Multifunctionality and multiple use of schools in the neighbourhood – This thematic focus sheds light on how school buildings can be designed as multifunctional spaces that serve as community centres in the neighbourhood beyond just teaching. In addition to the school, they offer space for leisure activities, cultural events and social projects. In this way, schools become open meeting places that enrich the neighbourhood, use resources efficiently and promote a stronger bond between school and neighbourhood.

Inclusion – This focus is dedicated to designing inclusive learning environments in which all students, regardless of physical, mental or social conditions, are equally supported and integrated. This involves barrier-free architecture, flexible room concepts and special support services that enable participation and equal opportunities. Inclusion creates an appreciative atmosphere and promotes a sense of togetherness by experiencing diversity as a strength and enabling joint learning.

Excursion 16:00 to 18:00

Open space planning schools and climate protection:

This thematic focus deals with the climate- and environmentally-friendly design of the outdoor areas of schools. The aim is to plan open spaces in such a way that they contribute to improving the microclimate and offer pupils natural learning and recreation spaces. Green roofs, school gardens, rainwater management and shady planting can contribute to climate adaptation and make sustainable educational content directly tangible. In this way, school open spaces become lively, ecologically valuable places that raise awareness of climate protection.

School construction and educational infrastructure – lectures on the creation of modern educational spaces, state funding programmes and sustainable open space design.

Practical examples and excursion – presentations of school construction projects and an excursion to the Marie Curie School in Leipzig.
