Free expression

Our topics at a glance

Experience new ways of expressing yourself freely.

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 emerge that create space for individual and collaborative expression. This allows learners to develop their creative learning process freely.

Free expression plays a very important role in my educational work. I have observed with great curiosity how the children come to interesting conclusions if you give them space and time. It is important to engage with their ideas and support the process, even if you would have done it differently.

What I enjoy most is “free expression”. I sometimes find it unbelievable what ideas and scenic sketches emerge when playing theater, for example. I also think it’s great to see how the courage to present oneself grows through “free expression”. The method of human shadow theater plays a very special role for me here.
