Join in, discover, and experience nature up close: The Environmental Scouts invite you to Schalke
On July 16, 2026, the community store in Schalke will transform into a lively place for experiencing nature, creativity, and trying things out together. The participation offer around environment and sustainability focuses on involvement: Participants decide which actions will be the focus on that afternoon. Whether it's planting beds, natural scrubs, or working with natural colors – a versatile event experience with real audience atmosphere will be created here. The event is free of charge and takes place from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Liboriusstraße 63a.

An afternoon full of ideas, nature, and practical impulses
The format thrives on its open organization and a target group approach that relies on curiosity and participation. Instead of a rigid program, a flexible workshop afternoon is created, with joint action in the foreground. This makes the offer attractive for families, children, and all those interested in the environment: It’s not just about knowledge, but about immediate experience, materials, colors, scents, and small moments of success in creative work.

Schalke as a neighborhood with a culture of encounters
The community store in Schalke sees itself as a vibrant meeting place in the district. According to the city of Gelsenkirchen, groups, workshops, festivals, and counseling services take place there; since July 2024, the space has been located in the former premises of the district office. For visitors, this means: short distances, a socially embedded environment, and a place where neighborhood is not abstract but directly tangible.
