Our learning center – are a non-profit organization that focuses
on how a community can learn and create together and thrive holistically.
Young and old are part of a bigger community that supports each other; the focus is
on being able to learn with and from each other. We appreciate everyone with their
strengths and weaknesses. Everyone is encouraged to be themselves wholly and
fully and to discover their personal talents and abilities. At our learning center, we
believe that learning is a cheerful experience for any age group. It is important to us
that learning is experienced as a holistic process. Therefore, we use methods of
natural, social and cultural learning. Depending on age and development, there are
different ways to approach learning. We strive to encounter each person on an
individual level and help them to figure out their personal learning goals and needs.
Through this process, we can help to reduce anxiety and ease learning difficulties in
order to be fully open for new learning experiences.
All members at the learning center are very passionate about their work and strive to
be open, kind and honest with each other.

We have a big garden which would be happy to get more attention and care. Together with the kidds we do small projects to learn about nature and to grow our own food. Here is a lot of space for your ideas and creations.
Our house is an old castle and there is all the time something to repair, we have also a workshop where we can build what we need.
We are also happy if you wanna come to be with the kidds in classes to tell them and show them about your passion, culture, language...

Located in the beautiful mountainous lake region of Carinthia in southern Austria,
there are many outdoor activities to enjoy in every season. Skiing in winter and
swimming in one of the many lakes in summer, hiking all year around, just to name a
few...
Our campus is located just outside the city of Klagenfurt (about a 30-minute walk
from the city centre to our campus).
There are also connections with the bus.
The region of Carinthia shares borders with Italy
and Slovenia and there are many travel opportunities close-by.
