Educational campus vivante in Morocco
Support for the development of the école vivante in the High Atlas Mountains of Morocco. As a source of inspiration and know-how, we supported the development of the école vivante, which today, as part of the campus vivante, provides a solid education for over a hundred children and young people. With the permaculture project, the reforestation programme, as well as the integration of hearing-impaired children, the educational campus vivante has become an invaluable asset locally and is a model for schools in emerging countries.

The recreational programme „Brütwerk – die Tüftelwerkstatt“
Initiation and financing

The Brütwerk is a success story – the playground for technically, artistically and creatively interested tinkerers from the age of nine has spawned numerous imitators in Switzerland. The idea and the orientation of the Brütwerk fits into the social development and digital revolution. The wealth of ideas, technical understanding, the ability to develop problem-solving strategies, to leave well-trodden paths and to creatively open up new paths are among the skills that are currently needed.

Upgrading project Rietli Buchs
Initiation and implementation of the „upgrading project Rietli“ Buchs together with the pupils, the team and the parents of the Scuola Vivante. An approximately 3.5 hectare large former moorland area, which was drained in the course of melioration and used for fodder production, was restored step by step to its original state. This ecological project, which enjoys a lot of sympathy among the local population, was financed by the public sector and foundations. Trailblazing GmbH is taking over the project management of the 2020-2023 stages.

Establishment and management of Scuola Vivante, CH-Buchs SG.

„becoming who you are at the core of your being

The innovative power of this educational initiative consisted in the unique and consistent implementation of networked and meaning-oriented work. The teaching tool was the world. Being on the road, educational journeys, connectedness with nature and working on larger projects were an integral part of the curriculum. in 2013, Scuola Vivante was awarded the Swiss School Prize, and since 2010 it had been part of the UNESCO Associated Schools
