The presentation by Maria Isabettini, architect and managing director of Nonconform Ideenwerkstatt GmbH, left a lasting impression: The “All-day School and Space” project by the Montag Stiftung Jugend und Gesellschaft highlighted how all-day educational offerings are possible through creative spatial concepts and participatory processes, even without new buildings. Prof. Xaver Egger, architect and managing partner at sehw architektur, impressively presented the transformation of a school in Lusatia as an example of successful modern educational architecture. <\/p>\n\n

An emotional highlight was the contribution by Prof. Dr. J\u00f6rg Ramseger, Professor Emeritus of School Pedagogy at the Free University of Berlin.

The day concluded with the “Blue Hour” \u2013 a stylish networking dinner at a long, festively set table with plenty of room for in-depth conversations.
