Possibilities
The meetings with the many studios, the constant exchange over coffee, dinner or a beer in the evening have strengthened me in my everyday work. Because it’s not every day that you meet people who share similar or even the same ideas in terms of pedagogical work.

Questions and experiments
Our association magazine "Fragen und Versuche" (FuV) is published four times a year at the end of each quarter. It has a grassroots democratic structure. This means that everyone who has a contribution, article or picture that affects them in practice or theory has their say. The name of the magazine is also its "program": you can ask and answer questions here, you can report on your experiments, successes or experiences, but you can also discuss topics.
