Joint commitment to sustainability: Kunstschule Heimat and Aktion Kinderplne e.V. are creating a parachute with children as part of a worldwide project. The parachute is a metaphor with the desire to bring the world to a safe place to build a safety net takes shape. The Remscheid-based art teacher Ute Lennartz-Lembeck (Kunstschule Heimat) has been involved for many years and is already working with the youngest people in developing an awareness of sustainability. Stephanie Rigano, coffee roaster, founded the non-profit association Aktion Kinderplne to enable education for children, especially in developing and emerging countries. Commitment to the younger generation and a conscious use of the resources of our planet connects the two women. On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Rigano coffee roasting plant, the parachute was painted in June. A total of 20 children from Remscheid and many adults have helped painting the parachute, which honors the appeal "Take care of the planet" in a colorful globe. The parachute will be exhibited at the Rigano coffee roaster starting on 2 August, including hand-crafted coffee beans made of felt, which adorn the respective growing countries. At this point, too, a bridge is being created from the art school Heimat in Bergisches Land to the coffee-growing countries in which Aktion Kinderplne e.V. is involved. On 2 August, the parachute was presented to the press and hung up with some of the children, publicly visible during opening hours. Further actions will follow and also be made public. Thanks to all who helped!
