STATTwerke has been sup­port­ing the Don Bos­co Tech­ni­cal School in Kep, Cam­bo­dia for 10 years, a school de­di­ca­ted to hel­ping chil­dren from ru­ral and in­di­ge­nous com­muni­ties. The school pro­mo­tes en­viron­men­tal res­pon­si­bil­ity and cul­tu­ral id­en­ti­ty along­si­de edu­ca­tion.
 
The planned Green Classroom con­struc­tion pro­ject is in­spi­red by Khmer ar­chi­tec­ture and blends har­mon­ious­ly in­to the land­sca­pe of Kep Na­tio­nal Park. The bam­boo con­struc­tion draws on tra­di­tio­nal sty­lis­tic ele­ments com­bin­ed with mo­dern eco­lo­gi­cal prin­cip­les. This crea­tes a lear­ning spa­ce that is both fun­ctio­nal and cul­tural­ly roo­ted. The cen­tr­al class­room buil­ding mea­sures 10 by 10 me­tres and can ac­com­mo­date 50 pu­pils and two tea­chers. 

Outside, there are per­ma­cul­ture beds for grow­ing ve­ge­tab­les, me­di­ci­nal plants and rice. Com­pos­ting sta­tions, re­cyc­ling areas and ponds pro­mote bio­di­ver­sity. The site is a li­ving eco­system in which na­ture is not view­ed as a sub­ject of lear­ning, but as a lear­ning par­tner. The aim is to help young people un­der­stand eco­lo­gi­cal in­te­rcon­nec­tions and de­ve­lop a sen­se of self-ef­fica­cy.
