Froebel seminars (in german language)
Seminars conducted at the genuine historical site vividly demonstrate Friedrich Froebel's educational theories on the kindergarten as well as his theories on playing. Hereby, mathematics, nature and language as the core values of his educational theory are being discussed in the context of modern educational schemes and the educators' task of supporting the children's autonomous learning process.
Depending on the scope of the offer chosen, participants are either given an introductory overview (length: app. two hours) or intensify chosen aspects in half- to multi-day workshops.
