ClimateLab: educational workshops for apprentices
ClimateLab workshops provide important background information on climate protection and project management. But that’s not all: the ClimateLab is also about thinking for yourself, developing ideas and implementing them. Because knowledge alone does not change anything.
Dedicated and motivated apprentices up to 25 years of age can register in consultation with their supervisor.

Knowledge
You will find out how you can contribute to climate protection
Network
You get to know climate protection experts and spend two exciting days with many other apprentices from the region.
Implementation
You learn project management techniques and turn your idea into a concrete project.
Recognition
You show your boss what you’re made of. In addition, upon successful completion of the project, you have the chance to win great prizes at the myclimate Awards.
The Topics of the ClimateLab workshops
Instead of dry theory, you gain knowledge through excursions, films, guided discussions, group tasks or cooking – all together with the other apprentices. Everyone brings their own topics and experiences to the workshop. This is how knowledge turns into real climate protection.
Consumption
How does your consumer behavior impact our climate and what do you have to pay attention to when following a climate-friendly diet? Get answers to these and other questions.
Nutrition
How can your diet contribute to climate protection? Learn how easily you can integrate regional and seasonal foods into your everyday life.
Energy
How can a company become energy-efficient by switching to renewable energies or even doing without certain energy-intensive industrial processes? What does primary energy mean or how are CO2 emissions calculated? How can processes be optimized and resources saved?
Mobility
For many, mobility is a prerequisite for a modern quality of life – but one person’s joy is another’s suffering: more traffic means more traffic jams, accidents, noise pollution and more greenhouse gas emissions. Learn all about the mobility mix of the future.
Project management
Develop a concrete proposal for project implementation at your company. Many of our participants were able to implement their own climate protection project at their firm with our support and were able to win prizes in the Energy and Climate Competition!
The aim of the bluecamp is for you to submit your projects to our partner project myclimate Energy and Climate Workshop after they have been successfully implemented, so that you can measure yourself against the innovative ideas of others. The following students did this and we are very proud that more than half of all bluesolutions were awarded!

Does this all sound interesting? It is! And you can be there this year, too, if you apply! You will learn what harms the climate and what you can concretely do so that something changes. Apprentices up to the age of 25 can take part. The workshop lasts two days and costs CHF 500.
