Zum Staunen, Fragen, Ausprobieren und Entdecken sucht das Maus-Team engagierte Veranstalter, die am 3. Oktober ihre Türen öffnen und Einblicke ermöglichen. Dass die Veranstalter mindestens genauso viel Freude daran haben wie die Kinder, zeigt der Blick auf das vergangene Jahr: Bundesweit öffneten sich unter dem Motto „Spielzeit“ an über 850 Orten Türen – so viele wie noch nie.
Ab dem 7. März 2026 können alle Interessierten dem bundesweiten Aufruf folgen und sich für die Mitmachaktion bewerben. Alle Informationen und das Bewerbungsformular finden sich unter: www.wdrmaus.de/extras/tueren_auf/
