Get involved, shape and experience nature anew in Schalke
The Environmental Scouts invite you to a creative participatory offer on nature and environment at the neighborhood store Schalke on September 3, 2026. From 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, a lively meeting point will be created for all those who want to practically try things out, decide together, and engage in sustainable ideas. The offer is free of charge and is aimed at people who want to experience the environment directly, not just talk about it.

An afternoon full of ideas that are allowed to grow
The program thrives on participation: Participants choose which actions will be implemented. Whether a planting bed is designed, natural peels are created, or creative work is done with natural colors, the event combines environmental education with a tangible event experience. It is precisely this mix of co-determination, craftsmanship, and sensory impressions that makes the date particularly attractive for families, curious neighborhoods, and everyone who enjoys sustainable impulses.

A place for meeting and neighborhood life
The neighborhood store Schalke has been a new meeting place in the district since July 2024. Here, neighborhood managers from the Workers' Welfare Association work and accompany offers, workshops, festivals, and consultations in the neighborhood. This provides a suitable framework for the Environmental Scouts: close to people's everyday lives, open to exchange, and embedded in local community work.

Organization with a social background
The responsible organizer is the Sozialwerk St. Georg e.V., which operates in Gelsenkirchen as an established social organization with a wide range of services in housing, work, education, care, counseling, as well as child and youth welfare. The guiding principle Together. Different. Strong. fits well with a format that brings together participation, self-efficacy, and sustainable practice.

Conclusion: A free environmental offer with a participatory character
If you're looking for a relaxed yet active afternoon in the neighborhood, you will find a low-threshold offer with a reference to sustainability and creative added value here. The Environmental Scouts promise no stage, but participation - and that's precisely where the appeal lies. It’s best to get in touch beforehand and experience the event live.
