Educational concept

Representation at the Spring Festival 2014: Knights defending the rear entrance to the village

The medieval village of Steinrode serves as an extracurricular learning location to bring children closer to history, nature and handicrafts. The main focus is on the development from raw material to end product and sustainable lifestyle. Due to the special location in the middle of the Kaufungen Forest , children, young people and adults should experience the close connection between their ancestors and the forest and nature for themselves. The forest supplies the village with wood. Sand, stones and clay can be fetched up close by handcart and processed in the village's craftsmen's houses. By working in groups, the social skills of children and their self-esteem through the importance of their own performance for the community are to be promoted. Biological learning locations such as forest ant nests, ponds, a spring and a footbridge over the Hühnerfeld high moor are located near the village.

program

The program combines environmental education and social learning . When designing the program, individual priorities are set in consultation with the teachers, supervisors or parents. There are also explorations outside the village under expert guidance. Holiday offers, language camps, forest days, spring and autumn festivals round off the offer. Cooperation exists with the Göttingen Forest Education Center, the biological learning locations of the Kassel region ("Bioleka"), Berlepsch Castle and the universities of Kassel, Marburg and Bamberg;
