Henkel South Africa hosted its first-ever Forscherwelt (Researchers' World) Day, introducing 50 children from Tamaho Early Childhood Development Centre to the world of science through fun, hands-on discovery.

Forscherwelt is a global STEM education programme that has already reached more than 115,000 children across the world - now launched for the first time in South Africa.

The event was made possible in partnership with Play Africa, Johannesburg's pioneering children's museum, ensuring the sessions were joyful, inclusive and age-appropriate.

Hosting children from Tamaho ECD is a natural extension of Henkel's commitment to strengthening early education, building on years of investment in the centre's infrastructure, teaching, and learner support.

Forscherwelt, German for "Researchers' World", is Henkel's global STEM initiative designed to help children "be like researchers." Through engaging experiments, children learn ascientific principles in areas linked to Henkel's expertise: adhesives, personal care, sustainability, and cleaning technologies.

Since its launch in 2011, Forscherwelt has grown from a small programme at Henkel's headquarters into a global movement that has reached more than 115,000 children across Europe, Asia, North and South America and now, South Africa.
