Forest, wood & energy workshop

What actually is energy?
What significance does the forest have for the Oberemmental?
And how are energy and forests connected?
Let’s find out!

In this educational program at the Regionalmuseum Chüechlihus, pupils discover the connections between forests, wood and energy through various approaches. They reflect on their existing knowledge in a dialogical and interactive way and learn or deepen specific new content with a focus on the Oberemmental.

The course combines scientific content with knowledge of historical events and current issues in the region and is ideally suited as an introduction to the topic of “forests” or “wood as a source of energy”. Cycle 2 The workshop is suitable for school classes from the region as well as for pupils who are in Emmental as part of a school trip or a project week.

Forest, wood & energy experts

As part of the workshop, the students master six different challenges as a class on the topics of forest, wood and energy, whereby the students can achieve up to 10 points for each challenge.
This means that the class can collect up to 60 points during the entire workshop and thus prove itself as a “forest, wood and energy expert”.
We congratulate our “Forest, Wood & Energy Experts” on their great scores.

Field hockey stick and salt grater?
Wooden shingles and ceramic bowls?
Unicorn and Emmental?
What does all this have to do with me and what does the time in which I live actually mean?

In this interactive workshop at the Chüechlihus Regional Museum, participants will come into contact with the history of the Oberemmental, build a bridge to their own personal history and create something that complements what is already there.
They deal with objects and their attributions of meaning, with questions in the here and now, with their identity and their place in the shared history, present and future.

Chüechlitiger

The offer is currently only available in German.

The Chüechlitiger accompanies young people aged around 8-12 years and younger children with the help of adults on a journey into the past of the Oberemmental.
The youngsters support the museum mascot in solving various puzzles: they look for clues, combine, draw, glue, stamp, craft and make things – until the solution is found and the little surprise waiting at the end can be collected.
Touch, try out and solve puzzles
With the ‘Chüechlitiger’ children’s trail, youngsters can immerse themselves in the history of the Oberemmental and discover the permanent exhibition of the regional museum in a playful way.
It is a discovery tour for the curious.
The Chüechlitiger is designed to encourage young people to experience history and connect it with their own lives in the here and now.

The color brochure “Chüechlitiger” can be purchased at the museum ticket office (incl. craft materials, instructions and several surprises to take home – from 2 pieces with reduction).
The children’s trail is suitable for individual visits – with the family or as an excursion with a godchild – as well as for group visits, e.g. school classes from cycle 2 (from 3 years).
School classes from cycle 2 (from 3rd grade) or children’s birthday parties.
