About this project

Désirée Bender from Wildwuchs e.V. - Förderverein F.L.A.U.S.E-Schule is responsible for this project
Children come into the world with a great love of learning and an inquisitive mind. This is how they learn to crawl, walk, and talk. We know from developmental psychology and neuroscience that children are born as highly competent. They are socially competent, able to relate to their peers from the first day after birth, and capable of bonding with multiple caregivers. This social competence is the prerequisite for learning: children who feel secure with other people can learn and develop in a healthy way. Healthy relationships are therefore the basis for growing up emotionally, physically, and psychologically healthy. Based on this knowledge of the child, questions arise for educators for which we need creative answers.

The FLAUSE Elementary School was founded in the 2022-2023 school year with 18 children who learn from and with each other in an open concept across classes and ages. The non-profit “Lernfreude & Potenzialentfaltung gemeinnützige GmbH” is the responsible authority of the FLAUSE Elementary School, situated in Hochheim a. M., a thirty minute drive from Frankfurt/Germany.
FLAUSE stands for the German abbreviation „Frei, Lebendig, Abenteuerlich, Und in Sicherheit die welt Entdecken“ (Free, Lively, Adventurous and Discover the World in Safety). The FLAUSE team is multidisciplinary. The staff members have a wide variety of professions and backgrounds in order to be able to cover all areas and not "overlook" any child's potential. The pedagogical director is an experienced elementary school teacher who brings with her a great deal of practical experience in open, free learning settings. A high school teacher and trained musician supports the children from the first school year musically and in the English language. Whether with a scientific background identifying the importance of the academic subjects, or with a traumatherapeutic background recognizing which factors and influencing variables affect the children and their environment, FLAUSE combines the purely pedagogical support of the children with various domains of expertise under one roof. Our goal is to support the holistic development of the children and their families and thus accompany them into a future world that enables a sustainable and transformative change in our society.

FLAUSE Elementary School would like to use the donations for two important pillars: 
- High-quality learning support: Our children learn in an environment where they feel safe and seen. For our special learning concept we need at least two learning guides who work in tandem with the children. 
 - Construction trailer: We want to grow with our school so that more children and families become part of the unique FLAUSE. The anticipation is great, our school interior space is limited and therefore we have been dreaming for a long time of a construction trailer, which we will convert for ourselves and which will serve as a natural learning space on our outdoor grounds.
