The imposing play equipment in the form of an almost 20 feet high climbing tower will catch your eye even from a distance. The tower shines in resplendent red, yellow and orange from the newly designed Platz der Begegnung in Heidelberg. Here on the eastern outskirts of the town, where the Schlierbach valley gently slopes down towards the Neckar River, is the Schlierbach district. A development of mainly detached urban villas extends up the steep slope, while down in the valley, Heidelberg’s main artery – consisting of the S-Bahn (suburban railway) and Bundesstraße (A-road) 37 – pulsates along the Neckar.
Nygårdsparken – this is the name of the biggest public park in Bergen, Norway. The park is located in the centre of the city between the districts of Nygård and Møhlenpris and was originally built in 1881 in the style of an English Garden. Until the end of the Second World War, the park was privately owned and could be visited by paying admission. When the 45 acres park was subsequently opened to the public free of charge, this area became increasingly more common for vandalism, drugs, and misdemeanors which forced the city to close the park entirely in 2014. The aim now however was to change the areas reputation through various remediation measures. Throughout the renewal process, it was crucial for the city to create activities for children and safe spaces for young teenagers to be active. This notion has now been impressively achieved.

With its own housing stock of around 60,000 apartments, the Berlin-based housing association HOWOGE is one of the ten largest landlords in Germany. For more than 25 years, the company has stood for sustainable inventory development, innovative housing concepts, and social engagement at various locations in Berlin. In the course of the periodic repair of the façade of a block of flats with 422 apartments in Berlin's Hohenschönhausen district, the outdoor area was also redesigned. A varied children's playground was created in the courtyard of the building complex. Due to the public accessibility of the farm, the play area not only benefits the immediate residents but also offers the entire living environment – including adjoining day-care centres – an exciting destination for play and movement.
“Celebrate your Roots – discover your Wings” is the guiding principle of the German European School in Singapore (GESS). Thus the school profile focuses on conveying the European values of respect, openness and a sense of community. The private school in the Asian metropolis is aimed at students and preschoolers of all ages between 18 months and 18 years old. The school aspires to get to know every student in the school community, to discover his personal strengths and interests and, through a holistic approach, to both encourage and challenge students. The school focuses on quality not only during lessons, but also beyond them. Thus the school concept sees recess as an opportunity to supplement and support cognitive learning in class through physical exercise. Social interaction is also encouraged during recess.
