Why Children Should Learn About Insects – BCS Focuses on Nature Education
Insects are everywhere – in gardens, forests, parks, and even in our homes. They are essential to our ecosystem and play a crucial role in maintaining nature’s balance.
On March 15, 2025, at 1:00 PM, Berlin Cosmopolitan Nature School gGmbH at Müggelheimer Damm 145 invites children and parents to an exciting event where they can discover the fascinating world of insects.
As an educational institution, we see it as our responsibility not only to impart knowledge but also to raise awareness about our environment. Nature education is a key part of our school’s philosophy because we firmly believe: Only those who understand and appreciate nature will be committed to protecting it.
Why is it important for children to learn about insects?
- Encouraging curiosity and a connection to nature – Children are naturally curious. Observing insects helps them develop a deeper understanding of nature.
- Essential pollinators and natural pest controllers – Bees, butterflies, and beetles play a vital role in pollination and natural pest control.
- Biodiversity and adaptation – Children learn through play about the incredible diversity and adaptability of insects.
- Respect for all living beings – Encountering insects fosters a mindful and respectful attitude toward nature.
- Sustainability and environmental protection – Raising awareness about the threats facing many insect species motivates children to take sustainable action.
Berlin Cosmopolitan School is committed to education that places nature experiences at its core. We are proud that our students experience the forest as their classroom every week, learning essential values such as sustainability, responsibility, and respect.
We warmly invite all families to join us on March 15 to explore the world of insects together. Let’s lay the foundation for a generation that understands, loves, and protects our environment.
