Geopark Ries Schools

Geopark Ries Schools are special educational institutions certified for their commitment in the areas of environmental and geopark education. These schools offer students the opportunity to experience the geological and cultural features of the Geopark Ries through excursions and hands-on instruction.

Schools that hold the “Geopark Ries School” certificate benefit from close collaboration both among themselves and with the Geopark Ries. They gain access to special projects that make learning more illustrative and hands-on. The goal is to spark young people’s interest in the unique features of their homeland and to raise their awareness of the necessary protection of the region.
