Discover the future of learning: Open Day in Liesing!
On October 11, 2025 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., the Astrid Lindgren Center (ALZ) in Liesing will open its doors to all interested parents. This Open House offers the opportunity to get to know the innovative school that focuses on holistic learning. The address is Breitenfurter Straße 401-413/1, Liesing. The focus on children's individual potential is very important, and those responsible now want to show this to a wider audience.
The Astrid Lindgren Center works according to a unique concept based on various reform pedagogical approaches. These approaches include the teachings of important educators such as Maria Montessori and Célestin Freinet, who focus on promoting independence and intrinsic motivation. The school pursues the goal of developing responsible and cosmopolitan people, as in the Information from the website emerges.
Reform pedagogy as a basis
The school concept is based on a positive image of humanity, which Astrid Lindgren embodies. These include reform pedagogy and other modern approaches that are less performance-oriented and instead focus on personal development. In these models, the teacher-student relationship is characterized by a democratic and appreciative approach, which enables the children to learn and grow on their own responsibility. This means that grade pressure doesn't play a role; instead, attention is paid to the students' individual strengths and interests, which promotes the children's self-education processes Reform pedagogy generally describes.
What is particularly noteworthy is the ALZ's learning environment, which promotes self-determined learning. Students enjoy a variety of materials and learning situations that stimulate their curiosity. This also includes a high supervision ratio, which offers optimal learning conditions in small, mixed-age groups. Up to 30 students per class ensure personal care and individual attention to the needs of each child.
Attractions and offers
One of the special attractions of the day will be the Swedish Embassy's traveling exhibition, organized to mark 80 years of Pippi Longstocking. Anyone interested is cordially invited to view the exhibition and learn more about the ALZ's educational concepts. Registrations for the 2026/2027 school year are now possible, and individual appointments for personal discussions can be arranged by telephone. This is particularly important for Primaria I, which is in high demand!
The ALZ's dedicated teachers attach great importance to project work with a connection to reality, with daily snacks and lunches being freshly prepared at school. There is also afternoon care until 4:30 p.m., which makes it easier for parents to combine work and family.
A warm welcome awaits all visitors who would like to gain an insight into the world of the Astrid Lindgren Center at the open day. As the respected neurobiologist Gerald Hüther aptly put it: “Every child is highly gifted, we just have to recognize it.” To find out more, take advantage of the ALZ website to visit.
