For parents – Why should my child participate in the wilderness run?

Wilderness runs open up the opportunity for your child to make an immediate and lasting difference in the world.

Your child will learn about rainforest ecosystems and be informed about nature conservation issues in their complex, global context. At the same time, this topic is combined with a personal sense of achievement, allowing your child to become aware of their impact on the world.

By participating in the wilderness run and the associated sponsor 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, by participating in the sponsored run, your child will learn how to implement or fund their own projects. The students are directly and sustainably protecting habitats with unique biodiversity. We recognize this commitment with wilderness sponsorship certificates that include the exact geographic coordinates of the protected area.
