Understanding Nature: Big Environmental Education Day for Families in Roggenburg

A summer afternoon full of nature, wonder, and learning fun for families

On August 27, 2026, the environmental education day "Understanding Nature" will transform three locations in the region into lively learning places for families and children. From 1:00 PM to about 5:30 PM, the ILE Iller-Roth-Biber will bring mobile environmental education directly to the children – with varied stations, illustrative hands-on ideas, and a clear focus on nature, sustainability, and joint discovery.

A family experience with movement, questions, and aha moments

The special concept makes the afternoon easily accessible and exciting at the same time: Not the children change the learning material constantly, but the speakers travel with their offerings between locations. Thus, families experience new impulses and child-friendly learning moments at each location. Mentioned are, among others, the Educational Center Roggenburg, the Backhäusle Unterroth, and the Museum of Garden Culture in Illertissen.

Adequate for age, illustrative, and close to the children's world

According to family platforms, the event is aimed primarily at kindergarten and school children and is designed as a hands-on activity with knowledge and discovery character. This fits well with families who want to not only view nature but also experience it with all their senses. Hand lenses, craft ideas, observation, and playful understanding create a learning experience that captivates children sustainably.
