Education is an attitude that carries with it the desire to take on the world. Listening to something, being touched, and resonating with it transforms the listener as much as the piece of the world to which they have opened.

The sociologist Hartmut Rosa, in his book “Resonanz” he argues in favour of “Resonance Education”: It aims to provide people with an insight onto the world, such as poetry, history or biology, coming into contact with it in such a way that the object transforms them. That an object enables them to hear and respond to other people is a prerequisite that we need in social life.

Using the example of poetry, the difference between resonance and competence can be explained well: Competence is to determine the rhyme scheme and measure, to interpret literary topoi, images and metaphors. To be moved by a poem, to be grasped and grasped by it, is something completely different. If a poem does that, it will come to our minds after thirty years, because we acquired it in such a way that it changed the way we relate to the world. Without this ability we wither individually and culturally.

To transform the world is the central idea of our study course “von allem sein“. The more world we open up, the more our children will be interested in turning their world around.

There are still two places available. For dedicated and courageous people, who want to assimilate themselves into this world for three years!
