Why

The winners of the contest come from Berlin, Saarbrücken and Remscheid

The winners and special winners of the nationwide “Toiletten machen Schule” competition were honored during the festive award ceremony in Berlin on 4 June 2019. The Teltow Primary School from Berlin-Schöneberg, the Heinrich Neumann School from Remscheid and the Primary School Sankt Arnual from Saarbrücken were awarded for their excellent concepts at the impressive gala event in the Toni Cinema in Berlin.

Hints

What is the Inspiration Package?

The Inspiration Pack is designed to help you create your concept and to inspire you with information and tips. In three steps, it will help you to walk the path of improving your school toilets together. For practical implementation, the Inspiration Pack contains two moderation guides for the “Four-Senses Inspection” method and for the “Every Voice Counts” method. These two methods will assist you in both a profound problem analysis and in developing an understanding of the mutual perspectives of the different groups of people. Because one thing is clear – in order to recognize common interests, you have to talk to each other.

Will the competition be held again next year?

Unfortunately, the competition is currently not an annual competition.

How can we get access to the ideas and concepts of the participating schools?

A comprehensive documentation of the best ideas and concepts will soon be available on this website. The winning concepts are currently available, but in German only.
