The Flachsland Zukunftsschulen gemeinnĂĽtzige GmbH is an independent school and daycare provider based in Hamburg and a 100% subsidiary of Kinderwelt Hamburg gGmbH. The company draws on over 30 years of experience in open and mindful pedagogical work with children and young people and pursues a clear vision: to invest in education with heart and mind and thus help shape a liveable, socially just and ecologically sustainable society[1][3].
The offer of Flachsland Zukunftsschulen includes a total of 26 day-care centers, several all-day cooperations with Hamburg primary schools, the Zukunftsschule Alsterpalais – an inclusive primary and secondary school – as well as the Campus29, a free vocational school for social pedagogy. Campus29 primarily offers professional development courses for prospective educators and additional special education qualifications, with career changers expressly welcome[2][3].
The pedagogical orientation is based on the principles of Open Pedagogy and Mindfulness, Bilingualism and cross-age learning. Social justice, ecological action and inclusion are fundamental values that shape the entire educational concept. Sustainability is not only lived in the everyday life of the day-care centers and schools, but also promoted through the integration of organic large-scale kitchens and targeted educational offers for the responsible handling of the environment[1][2].
As an innovative and future-oriented educational organization, Flachsland Zukunftsschulen relies on close cooperation with families and society and, with the Bildungshaus Alsterpalais, offers a unique combination of daycare and school under one roof, which enables continuous and holistic care and support[3][4].
In total, the organization employs around 700 people who are committed to the values of community, sustainability and inclusive, caring education. Flachsland Zukunftsschulen sees itself as a social partner that actively shapes the future of children and young people - with a clear focus on ecological responsibility, pedagogical quality and social participation[2][3].
