Concept
The
School for Life accommodates children from
difficult backgrounds, ensuring their livelihood and
respecting their right of pursuit of happiness. The
children are supported by psychological and social
care and receive a first class education. If
necessary they furthermore also receive treatment
with lifesaving drugs. School for Life takes an
integrated approach working in a network that
includes local villages, schools, relatives, friends
and neighbours into its work.

This
is to ensure that the children maintain their social relationships outside
the project.
The children are seen as active creators of their own learning processes. They are interested,
motivated and learn from trial and error. A combination of theoretical and practical learning gives
them a chance of ‘learning by doing’. The School can be seen like Jule Verne’s base station for
expeditions, discoveries and adventures. The acquisition of knowledge and skills ensures the
continuation of the projects by the children. The educator no longer is a tamer that treats the
children as one bland mass but is rather motivating the individual child accompanying and
supporting it on its expeditions and discoveries. School for Life provides small learning centres
‘ centres of excellence’ which are not geared towards specific school subjects but which relate
knowledge from different subjects to real life problems and tasks. This encourages the children
to solve problems not only on paper but in real life. The following Learning areas are planned:
