Finsterwald students win competition for the school of the future!
Finsterwalde, Deutschland - On June 20, 2025, the Finsterwalde-Nehesdorf primary school was a radiant example of creativity and innovation spirit. The school was able to look forward to an award at the Brandenburg -wide competition for the International Children's Day. Under the motto "How does our school look like in the future?" developed pupils in the passionate project with a working group for mediation and art as well as the DRK school social work.
The creative results of the competition, including stop-motion films and interviews, impressively presented the children's visions for future school education. They hovered from modern common rooms and the idea of introducing tablets for all students, to a natural school yard with a petting zoo and the suggestions for new school subjects such as finance, cooking and social relationships. The presentation of AI robots as learning companions was particularly interesting when it comes to the use of technology in education.

A look into the future of education
This initiative is only an example of the continuous efforts in Brandenburg to improve education. The “Initiative Future Education” pursues the goal of spreading the knowledge gained in the different federal states and respecting the federal structures of the education system in Germany. Future locations are based on regional conditions and should make the coordination of scientific activities efficient. The initiative Future formation brings a breath of fresh air to the education system and is intended to help to revolutionize everyday school life for the coming generations.
