Blooming garden at SV Odin: Young people shape the future for the climate!
Four young people are working with professionals to design a flowering meadow at SV Odin in Hanover to promote climate protection and sustainable planning.
Blooming garden at SV Odin: Young people shape the future for the climate!
It's blooming again in Herrenhausen! The sports club SV Odin recently designed a blooming area on its premises that not only invites you to linger, but also sets a small example against climate change. As part of the Hanover Art Summer, four young people worked hand in hand with experienced professionals on this unique project. How HAZ reports, the project was brought to life by Katja Roßocha, a committed architect, whose children are themselves members of SV Odin.
The art summer focuses on the connection between art and environmental awareness. This year, landscape architecture was in the spotlight. With the active support of the Laves Foundation, the Lower Saxony Lotto Sport Foundation and the architectural firm chora blau, the young people experienced how unused areas can be transformed into climate-active meadows. The week began with an inspiring excursion to the Herrenhausen Gardens, where participants learned about the open spaces there and then began planning and implementing their own ideas. The creative minds were also able to discover various aspects such as water management and climate-friendly urban planning. These issues are more important than ever as more and more cities, including in Germany, have to face the challenges of climate change and urbanization Construction plan highlights.
A project with added value
The final presentation of the project took place on July 11th in the Künstlerhaus. Here Alexandra Massek from the Lotto Sport Foundation provided information about the “Active Pro Climate” program, which offers clubs financial support for climate-friendly projects of up to 1,500 euros. 34 applications have already found their way to funding, an achievement that clearly shows how high the interest in ecological initiatives is.
Kaja Schwedler and Lara Eser, both 17 years old, are proud of their results and enthusiastically report on the experiences they were able to gain during the creative week. “You not only learn something about plants, but also how important it is to actively do something for the environment,” says Lara. Its board member, Horst Josch, has already announced that the new garden will be equipped with an easily accessible gate facing the street to give more people the opportunity to enjoy this small retreat.
A part of a larger vision
The creation of the flowering meadow is not only an active contribution to environmental protection, but also fits into the holistic vision of sustainable urban planning. In Germany, the focus is on Agenda 2030, which calls on cities to reduce their ecological footprint while creating vibrant, social spaces. Projects like the one at SV Odin are therefore important in helping to promote quality of life and sustainable structures in urban areas Construction plan presented in detail.
Overall, although there are many challenges today, it may be the small, creative projects that make the biggest difference. A good hand in designing open spaces can not only beautify the cityscape, but also advance climate goals - and bring the community together in the process.
