Vocational school Nuremberg wins sustainability prize 2025 for education!

What a good success for the vocational school 12 in Nuremberg! This institution recently won the city's sustainability award. The project bears the meaningful name "take responsibility" and focuses on the cross -generational exchange, which is promoted by cooperation with SebastiPanPital. This not only promotes education, but also strengthens the cooperation in the city. The school was able to look forward to a prize money of 2,000 euros, which will surely reinforce the committed participants in their work. Further awards were awarded to the vocational school 5, the Hummelsteiner Weg Middle School, the Middle School Schlössleinsgasse and the state vocational school, which shows that there is a lot of potential in sustainable education in Nuremberg.

The jury, consisting of representatives of the city and the Sparkasse Nuremberg, assessed the engagement of the schools from the point of view of inclusion and sustainable community. School officer Cornelia Trinkl (CSU) agreed and emphasized the potential in education in order to cause social changes. Beate Treffkorn from the Sparkasse underlined the importance of such initiatives for urban coexistence. The sustainability price is based on the UN sustainability goals and is awarded annually, which underlines the continuous relevance of the topics.

a price with great reach

The sustainability prize is part of the German Sustainability Award (DNP), which is considered the most comprehensive price of its kind in Europe. Every year the event attracts around 3,000 guests and comprises several competitions that appeal to important transformation fields such as climate, biodiversity, resources and society. The DNP is awarded as part of the German sustainability day, an event that has developed into a leading congress for sustainability since 2008 and attracts more than 150 speakers: inside.

The main goal of the DNP is to promote sustainable development. The independent and objective allocation of the award is based on demanding assessments and an interactive know-how transfer. Not only should the participating organizations be strengthened, but overall an effective impulse for the transformation of society is set.

Education as a key to sustainable development

Another exciting aspect of the topic is the "National Prize-Education for Sustainable Development", which will be awarded in 2025 by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in cooperation with the German UNESCO Commission. Interested parties can submit suggestions by September 15, 2024 to honor initiatives that make a significant contribution to achieving the United Nations sustainability goals by 2030. Ten award winners are selected and each of them can look forward to 10,000 euros.

The award in the context of education for sustainable development (ESD) is intended to enable people to make future -oriented decisions. The UNESCO program BNE 2030 pursues the goal of anchored education in our education system-a goal that could by no means be more important in today's time.

As you can see, there is a lot of commitment to sustainable education and initiatives in the region that not only promote learning, but also strengthen social interaction. According to the latest developments, it is clear: there is something in the world of education!
