within the Project Finde Vielfalt location-based games (geogames) for families and teenager about biodiversity are developed by the University of Education Ludwigsburg in cooperation with the University Bamberg. As an implemention partner the "Deutsche Jugendherbergswerk" has contributed an area-wide realization of this project. Additionally in the project Finde Vielfalt will be researched, if a playful access to geogames can create perception and appreciation of biodiversity within children and teenager.

The everyday life of children and teenager can no longer by imagined without mobile devices like smartphones and tablets. Nature and biodiversity on the other side is hardly noticed and its protection has been given little to no importance. That is the reason why accesses for mobile devices are developed to experience biodiversity and to learn to  cherish its value.

In the project Finde Vielfalt different geogames for different age groups are beeing developed. In the geogame Der Grüne Schatz families with 6-12 year old children can search for plants with special properties throughout Germany with a picture trading card game.
