What is erlebniswiese?

erlebniswiese – Inspired Learning for Happy Children and a Vibrant Future

erlebniswiese aims to rethink and revolutionize early childhood education (ages 0–12) through creativity, nature experiences, and genuine human connection. We connect kindergartens and schools with regional partners from education, culture, crafts, nature, technology, and social engagement. This creates vibrant learning spaces where children can learn playfully, hands-on, and with a sense of agency.

Our goal is to prepare children for a future where not only technical knowledge matters, but above all humanity, creativity, and emotional intelligence. We build bridges between traditional and innovative learning and create educational structures that truly serve children.

What makes erlebniswiese special?

Learning through experience:

We bring education to life – on farms, in bakeries, in craft workshops, artist studios, tech labs, and in nature. Our platform connects schools and daycare centers with inspiring people – whether partners, experts, artists, or craftspeople — who ignite children’s curiosity, even if they don’t work in the traditional education system.

Digital infrastructure that eases the workload:

Through the portal, institutions can easily find, book, and manage partners — sorted by educational themes like sustainability, art, technology, movement, or mindfulness. Educators and administrators save time, reduce bureaucracy, and can evaluate offerings — all in a user-friendly and data-secure way.

Future-oriented learning:

Our programs strengthen what machines can’t replace: self-confidence, social skills, creative problem-solving, and values-based action. Children experience themselves as part of the world. They sense their abilities, their dreams, and their responsibility.

Target groups & impact

erlebniswiese is aimed at:

  1. Kindergartens, schools & support associations looking to expand their learning opportunities,
  2. School authorities, municipalities & education departments seeking to build sustainable structures,
  3. Private education providers & foundations aiming to make an impact,
  4. Freelance professionals & small businesses wanting to contribute their knowledge to educational processes,
  5. As well as parents & families looking for the right offerings for holidays, afternoons, and weekends.

Our model is scalable, locally rooted, and future-proof, with the goal of placing education back at the center of society.

Why we created erlebniswiese

Because education must be more than just supervision.

Because many educators are at their limits.

Because children spend more time in educational institutions than ever before, and that time is precious.

We observe: the shortage of skilled staff is growing, societal appreciation for education is declining, and the system is under pressure. Yet education is the key to a strong, resilient, and creative society.

erlebniswiese sees education as a collective task. We open spaces for participation, even for those outside traditional educational roles, and in doing so, create new perspectives for both children and adults.

Our vision

When children know who they are, what they’re capable of, and what they’re passionate about, they grow into happy, healthy, and self-determined adults.

Education begins in the heart. And when we take that seriously, we create a society that not only functions, but inspires.
