EcoKindergarten – A self-sustaining town for kids with mini-Teslas
Change language:
A few months ago we reported on an extraordinary initiation: a kindergarten, where children can give driving a go with mini-Teslas while learning about environmentally-friendly living. The EcoKindergarten (Ökovifalu) of Nyáregyháza opened its gates in the end of August.
The Napsugár (Sunshine) Kindergarten is found in Nyáregyháza, 50 kilometres from Budapest. The unique idea was developed by Alexandra Kovács and Péter Weigert, who were inspired by the teachers, especially the chief-teacher who dreamed about building a mini town in the yard of the kindergarten.
Being event organisers, creativity and innovation are essential for Alexandra and Péter, not to mention that protecting the environment was always important to them. So they instantly thought: why not make it green and eco-friendly?
Ökovifalu has roads, buildings, houses, a city hall, a small shop, a roundabout, a parking lot and of course, road signs.
The best part is that almost everything was built from recycled materials.
