Our offers for secondary levels I and II provide the opportunity to engage with the themes, places and sources of the Francke Foundations. We use dialogue, associative-artistic, research and reflective approaches in our educational work. Individual experiential knowledge is at the centre of our work. Beyond the respective historical input, there is a connection to current discourses.
The LeoLab provides us with special premises in the Historische Druckerei. The LeoLab has a wide range of media equipment, its own workshop area with a focus on printing techniques, as well as enough space for a common break in between.

What did school lessons look like 300 years ago? What subjects were there back then? In the historical classroom, the pupils decipher a timetable from the 18th century. They practise writing in Kurrent script with pen and ink, just like the pupils in August Hermann Francke's time, and discover the world in miniature in the Wunderkammer.

On an informative collecting safari through the Cabinet of Artefacts and Natural Curiosities, we collect various memorabilia for works of art, which we put together in our workshop to create a kaleidoscope of pictures or curious art objects.
