Find out about the background to the FuV.

It is no coincidence that our association magazine is called “Fragen und Versuche”. This is an unusual name for a magazine, but it expresses exactly what it is: a trend-setting magazine that serves as a grassroots democratic mouthpiece for all people interested in reform pedagogy.

The FuV has been in existence since 1977 and is the communication organ for all Freinet educators within and outside our association.
