“Vielen Dank für eine rundum gelungene Woche Bildungsurlaub zum Thema “GreenCity Freiburg”. Sechs Tage lang wurden wir fachkundig sowohl theoretisch als auch ganz praktisch vor Ort durch die vielseitigen Aspekte der nachhaltigen Stadtentwicklung Freiburgs geführt. Die Dozentin ließ genug Raum für Diskussionen, Erfahrungsberichte Einzelner und für unsere zahlreichen Fragen. Darüberhinaus passte sie sich stets geduldig den Bedürfnissen der heterogenen Gruppe an und hatte für alle einen guten Tipp für die individuelle Freizeitgestaltung parat.”

“Wir hatten eine großartige Erfahrung bei der Schultour zum Thema Nachhaltigkeit in Freiburg. Der Tag war sehr gut organisiert und umfasste sowohl die Innenstadt als auch den Stadtteil Vauban. Unsere Guides, Myriam und Andrea, waren äußerst kompetent und haben die Inhalte spannend vermittelt. Unsere Schülerinnen und Schüler konnten viele wertvolle Einblicke gewinnen, wie Nachhaltigkeit erfolgreich im städtischen Raum umgesetzt werden kann. Die Tour war informativ, inspirierend und gut verständlich – eine hervorragende Lerngelegenheit außerhalb des Klassenzimmers. Ich kann diese Tour Schul- und Universitätsgruppen sehr empfehlen, die ein tieferes Verständnis für nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung gewinnen möchten.”
