We put Freinet’s ideas into practice by each of us changing the system from the inside out in our own field of activity. The power of all those who are enthusiastic about reform pedagogy works back on ourselves.
Bring the joy of being an educator into your vocation. Let yourself be inspired and get involved with us.

More questions ...
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.
