Tanja is passionate about both people and nature. As a nutritionist and former co-owner of bike stores, a healthy and sustainable lifestyle is not just a philosophy for her, but part of her DNA. Through her role as a mother, she has always felt a close connection to school and education. In her professional career, she can draw on extensive experience in the food industry as well as in self-employment in project and team management, marketing and sales. Tanja is an accomplished bridge builder who likes to put her ideas into practice.

Daniela has felt a deep connection to nature since childhood and still spends a lot of time outdoors. After completing her apprenticeship as a certified businesswoman (EFZ), she deliberately chose a career path in the environmental sector. She studied Environmental Engineering with a focus on Urban Ecosystems at the ZHAW. She then gained valuable practical experience related to forest ecosystems while working at the Office for Forests and Natural Hazards. Daniela also broadened her knowledge by teaching at the primary school level for a period of time. In her free time, she is committed to environmental causes and volunteers at “gmüesgarte”, where she advocates for food saving. Environmental education has long fascinated her and is especially close to her heart. Daniela firmly believes that action-oriented teaching not only raises awareness but also drives real change. Since July 2025, she has been supporting the Climate School as a project manager.

How do children develop an awareness of their environment?
For several years, Dietmar has been bringing the topics of energy+climate and waste+consumption into classrooms as an environmental teacher for Pusch. In parallel, he continues to develop educational activities in the climate school team. Didactically, his experience from several years of leading Technorama workshops as well as slam lectures helps him. From a technical point of view, the physicist with a doctorate in solar cells has a broad background. For him, it is important to reach the minds and the hearts.

Growing up surrounded by forests and cows, Nikolaj realised the importance of an intact environment at an early age. After his childhood in beautiful Gais AR, he went on to study communications at the University of Zurich, where he graduated in the summer of 2022. Being passionate about the subject matter was particularly important to him in his job search after graduating, which is why he took on the role of communications and social media intern at MYBLUEPLANET at the beginning of 2023. After his internship, he switched departments and is now a permanent member of the climate school team. In addition to his love of Swiss nature, he is passionate about all kinds of ball sports, music and motion pictures.
