Regional prize for schools
Sustainability as a role model for the region
"Small local measures can have a big impact and contribute to the big picture." This is the basic idea behind our Regional School Award for Sustainability, which is now being awarded for the third time.
What are you looking for?
- Imaginative new ideas and projects that set an example for the entire region.
- Sustainable approaches in the areas of mobility, nature, landscape and environmental (protection), energy and climate, economy and tourism, nutrition and consumption.
- Right in the middle, at the very beginning or still in the planning stage - the only important thing is that the idea is feasible.

The 2024 award winners
First prize and prize money of 5,000 euros were awarded to Max-Planck-Gymnasium Schorndorf for its "Sustainability at MPG" project. The school has successfully integrated sustainability into the school culture. With a variety of measures, including a sustainability week, a school garden, art projects, fair trade initiatives and upcycling campaigns, the school showed how sustainability can be practiced in many different ways.
