biography
Fritz Jean Begert was born to Friedrich Begert (1881–1929) and Jeanne Emma Berthoud (1883–1958). He had three younger siblings: Wilhelm Albert, Jean-Louis and Lucie. His brother Wilhelm Albert Begert (1912–1971) worked on behalf of the Civil Service International and later Unesco before and during the Second World War in Spain , England and Greece , then mainly in Morocco and Cameroon .
After training as a teacher at the Protestant Teachers' Seminar Muristalden Bern (1923–1926) and at the State Oberseminar Bern (1927), Begert worked as a private tutor, as a teacher in Thun (1935–1942), in Schangnau (1948–1953), in Ringoldswil (municipality of Sigriswil ) (1956–1968) and was director of his own “Lombachschule” in the Habkern Valley (1944–1945). Begert worked as a folklorist and was meanwhile a freelance writer in Interlaken (1942–1944), at Surpierre Castle (1947–1948) and from 1968 in Romainmôtier . The core elements of his pedagogy are the differentiated group organization in the classroom (impetus was provided by Rudolf Maria Holzapfels' social psychologist and the experience as head of the Thun holiday colonies), the orientation of the classroom to the needs of the children and the free, individual working groups.
Fritz Jean Begert was married to the pedagogue Maria-Béatrice Demetriades, with whom he had a son (Michael Heinrich) and a daughter (Alki Natalie).
