The seventh Mouse “Door Opener Day” took place on October 3, 2017 and Rothschenk was there for the first time.
90 children, accompanied by their parents, went through our 5 stations on the subject of load securing. In the sea container, we showed them why and how to secure cargo. In the production hall, every mouse fan built their own dunnage bag and was allowed to paint it colorfully. After that it got a little louder. We went to the Knallhalla. Here the children watched us test a dunnage bag and learned why this is necessary. At the fourth station, they learned how a biogas plant works and what this has to do with our storage cushions. The last stop took the mouse fans to our ideas workshop. With their help, we tried to answer the following question: What else can be packed in dunnage bags? We all wrote down the many, many ideas on small index cards and put them up on our pinboard.
Each tour ended with a celebratory mouse cake in our coffee lounge. We would like to thank the children for their great interest, our Rothschenk-Maus team for the great organization and execution and, of course, WDR and the Mouse, without whom this wonderful day would not have been possible.
