Our stance

Experience education in a new way. Your attitude counts.
In Freinet pedagogy, our view of our own attitude is the key to pedagogical practice. The Freinet pedagogues in our association talk about their attitude like this: I look at the learners and take note of what they can do and what they bring with them. This is how I discover and consolidate my understanding of learning. As a Freinet educator, I am always also a learner. By allowing a variety of paths and methods, a completely new learning process is created. This strengthens self-esteem and the ...

Free expression

Through Free Expression, you will discover the diversity of creative potential in your learning group. This applies to all learning and development topics. Free Expression changes learning right from the start: Learning arrangements are created that provide space for ...

Democracy

One of the most important basic requirements of Elise and Célestin Freinet was to "give the children the floor". We consistently follow this approach: in the Freinet pedagogy, the learners have the "word in their hands" from the very beginning and thus determine their ...

Natural method

Freinet's pedagogy is about a natural approach to learning: through the method of tactile experimentation, learners control their own individual development. Their natural will to learn remains alive. Open up spaces in your group for ...

Leave the practice rooms

According to the experiences of Elise and Célestin Freinet, life itself is the best teacher. Put their knowledge into practice and broaden your perspective by discovering new practice areas. Use new resources as a learning opportunity. Experience how a joyful spirit of exploration ...

Heterogeneity

Heterogeneity is a major topic. In Freinet pedagogy, the diversity of the learning group enriches learning. Even if you sometimes find it difficult to deal with differences, you can use them as potential. Every issue of "otherness" is an opportunity for you as a learning guide: ...

Show performance

What initially appears to be a contradiction to the reform pedagogical approach opens up to you as a veritable treasure trove of possibilities: Freinet pedagogy enables your group to demonstrate performance differently. Each topic can be worked on, presented and reflected on independently by the learners. This enables the ...

Lifelong learning

Experience, preserve and share your joy of learning.
In Freinet pedagogy, we have a very positive attitude towards learning. What experiences have you had in our society with the learning culture you are familiar with? Everyone has experienced different teaching and learning methods in their lives. And everyone has had their own learning experiences as a small child. Do you remember how often you ...
