Children's Cultural City Map Expands With 'Cool Places' Thermal Camera Series
The Children's Cultural City Map, an interactive tool for school classes to explore their surroundings creatively, has seen new developments. The project, managed by the SchulKulturKontaktstelle, has expanded with a 'Cool Places' series using thermal cameras. It's supported by the 'Our Children - Our Future' fund and the Sparkasse Duisburg, with many primary schools participating this year.
The 'Cool Places' series, part of the 'Hey du! Our Cultural City Map', allows students to find cool spots in their school environment using thermal cameras. This not only makes learning fun but also introduces them to climate protection and urban planning.
The project kicked off at the GGS Marktstraße in Friemersheim, with a class exploring their neighborhood, focusing on culture and climate. Many other primary schools joined in September and October 2025, including the KGS Böhmer Straße in Buchholz and the GGS Albert-Schweitzer-Straße in Huckingen. The findings from the 'Cool Places' series are added to the Children's Cultural City Map, making these topics tangible for children.
The project is supported by the 'Our Children - Our Future' foundation of the Sparkasse Duisburg, which donated €10,000 this year. In 2025, the Stadt Osnabrück also contributed to the fund, enabling further development of the Kinderkulturstadtplan.
The Children's Cultural City Map continues to grow, now including the 'Cool Places' series. With support from the 'Our Children - Our Future' fund and the Sparkasse Duisburg, many primary schools have participated, making climate protection and urban planning engaging and accessible for children.
