The aim is to address the Ries homeland in a holistic and interdisciplinary manner. Another important aspect of the partnership is looking beyond the crater rim to other regions of the world.
All types of schools are welcome as cooperation partners. The prerequisite is a commitment to promote and strengthen the students’ connection to their very special homeland. The UNESCO Global Geopark Ries works closely with the schools participating in the network to broaden and deepen knowledge of local geological and human history and the consequences experienced today locally, nationally and worldwide.
