Teachers in training
I found my pedagogical home through Freinet. Not only my professional life, but also my private life has been fundamentally enriched by these valuable experiences.
I have found my center and have grown beyond myself.

A warm welcome
Dear educator in training,
Do you, like Steph from Bremen, want to finally find your pedagogical home? Then you’ve come to the right place.
All of the encounters we offer take place on a pedagogical experimental field takes place. Experienced Freinet teachers and those who want to become one come together and try out Freinet methods. You can try out, understand and reflect on what works for you. You decide what you want to take away with you. There are no predetermined doctrines that you have to implement. You are part of it right from the start.
We would like to invite you to contact us and get to know us. Take part in our diverse studio, further education and training programs. Take the opportunity to shadow experienced Freinet teachers. Network with others and help shape our work. We also welcome new ideas from you.
We look forward to seeing you.
I take away new suggestions and ideas from every meeting. There’s always something that I can implement and that helps me move forward. That’s fun.

Between freedom and structure
Find out what is special about learning with Freinet pedagogy.
Freinet’s pedagogy is based on the learners. We take them seriously as providers of ideas and pick up on their impulses. Together, we develop research questions based on the interests of the learning group. Questions are the best starting point for experimenting, trying things out and making discoveries.
Everyone involved in learning meets at eye level. The practiced Posture of the Freinet teachers plays a central role in this. It gives us a secure framework between structure and freedom.
In our online studios and at our presence meetings you will experience cooperative learning and draw new inspiration. You can immediately transfer these experiences into your practice.
I don’t have to know and be able to do everything.
I just need to know how to learn something.
Lydia U. from Idstein
