Parents - Why should my child participate in the Wilderness Run?
Wilderness running opens up the opportunity for your child to make an immediate and lasting difference in the world.
Your child will learn about the temperate and tropical rainforest ecosystems and will be informed about conservation issues in their complex, global context. At the same time, this theme is combined with a personal sense of achievement where your child becomes aware of his or her effectiveness in the world.
By participating in the wilderness run and the associated sponsor:in search, the following skills are practiced according to the educational goals (curriculum Saxony, high school):
- Ability to reflect and discourse
- Interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity
- Communication skills
- Environmental awareness
- Value orientation
- Willingness to take responsibility
In addition, your child learns with the sponsored run a way to implement or finance their own projects. The students protect habitats with a unique biodiversity directly and in the long term. We certify this commitment with wilderness sponsorship certificates on which the exact geo-coordinates of the protected area are noted.
