Spring cleaning fever in childcare
As part of the Spring cleaning campaign by the City of Vienna , the childcare center in the project StartWien Hub also participated in the initiative. With great commitment and enthusiasm, the children and their caregivers collected trash in the neighborhood, thereby setting a strong example of environmental awareness and community spirit.
The campaign did not go unnoticed: Many passersby expressed interest, praised the commitment of the little environmental heroes, and engaged in conversation with the group.

The spring cleaning was not only a valuable contribution to cleanliness in public spaces, but also a wonderful opportunity to teach children in a playful way how to treat our environment responsibly.
