On November 18th, the Wildbiene kindergarten, a climate-friendly daycare center supported by the Paul and Karin Gauselmann Foundation, 
visited the German Wind Energy Museum with a group of 12 enthusiastic children. 
The curious young explorers were accompanied by their two teachers, Luisa and Asiye, who had lovingly prepared and organized the trip. 
The eventful morning, focusing on renewable energies (PV and wind), climate protection, and sustainability, began promptly at 9:00 a.m.

The Wildbiene kindergarten is part of a modern new building on Hindenburgring in Espelkamp, ​​made possible by the generous support of the 
Paul and Karin Gauselmann Foundation. The foundation financed the construction with approximately €3.5 million, creating a contemporary 
and attractive childcare environment for 70 children. Sustainability and nature-based learning play a key role here: Energy-efficient 
technologies and a diverse outdoor area, bordering the forest and offering ample space for exploration, were key considerations in the 
planning and furnishing of the building.

At the German Wind Energy Museum, the children first explored the extensive outdoor area. During an age-appropriate guided tour, 
they learned how wind is created and how wind turbines generate electricity – explained clearly, playfully, and in a child-friendly way. 
Many children found it particularly exciting to directly experience the large rotor blades turning in the wind, thus making the power of
nature visible. The children were also able to explore the workings of photovoltaic modules in more detail.

The Paul and Karin Gauselmann Foundation has supported numerous social, cultural, and educational projects in the Minden-Lübbecke region
for many years, aiming to promote community, education, and quality of life. Founded in 1999, the foundation has since accumulated capital
that enables it to fund a wide range of initiatives, particularly in the area of ​​child and youth welfare.

The visit to the German Wind Energy Museum was an unforgettable experience for the children of the Wildbiene Climate Kindergarten,combining
technology, environmental education, and playful discovery. With shining eyes and many new impressions, they returned to the kindergarten 
– ready to share what they had learned and eager for their next adventure.
