Inauguration of Climate Change Community Mosaic 21. April 2022

Stay tuned to hear more about it in the coming weeks!

Climate Change Community Mosaic installed

We are tremendously proud and happy to have had such a smooth and fun installation week, April 18-21, for the Climate Change Community Mosaic. The mosaic mural was installed at the entrance to the premises of the German School, Beijing. Now this community art piece created by 55 Beijingers will not only decorate the modern building but also keep raising awareness about impact of climate change amongst the schools community.
