Verband Region Stuttgart: 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 second time.

In the 2023/2024 school year, the Verband Region Stuttgart is therefore once again looking for creative and committed projects that encourage sustainable thinking and action in the region.

The 2024 award winners

Sustainability at the MPG Pizzapecker - simply delicious Take part: Climate detectives meet the strong future makers

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.

The "Pizzapecker - simply delicious!" project from Schule am Steinhaus in Besigheim was awarded second prize and prize money of 3,000 euros. By baking pizzas with ingredients from their own school garden and local sources, the pupils imparted knowledge about sustainable action in a practical way.

The third prize of 2,000 euros went to the project "Mitmachen: Climate detectives meet the strong future makers" from Glemstalschule Schwieberdingen-Hemmingen. The pupils impressed the jury with their holistic approach to communicating sustainability issues.
