Ein Kollektiv von Lehrenden und Studierenden engagiert sich in einer immersiven, produktiven Praxis, um das Lehren und Lernen in der Hochschul- und Grundschulbildung an der Pädagogischen Hochschule und darüber hinaus neu zu denken.

Verwurzelt in Neugier, Fürsorge und Achtsamkeit gegenüber vielfältigen Geschichten und Stimmen, bietet das Kollektiv offene Impulse, die jeder anpassen, hinterfragen oder über eine wachsende Konstellation von Bildungszentren hinweg erweitern kann.

This feed curates a growing set of compass principles – concise orientations that help educators, designers, and learners move through complex learning landscapes while staying attentive to people, places, and more-than-human partners. Each principle appears in two formats: a short written glimpse into its lineage and intent, and an A5 card you can print, cut, and use for dialogue, journaling, or on-site inquiry once the templates are ready.

The principles recognise multiplicity: several can hold value at the same time, even if they point in different directions. They are not universal rules but invitations to slow down, notice context, and choose paths that support dignity, reciprocity, and ecological care. 

Feel free to adapt, combine, or question them, and share back what you learn so the compass stays alive and collectively tuned.

Principle: Presence & Mutual Becoming (Inspired by Eugene Gendlin)

Radical presence begins with recognising oneself as a situated, storied being and meeting another—human or more‑than‑human—without the armour of pre‑set theories. It unfolds in three entwined dimensions:

  1. Embodied Self‑Presence — attentive to one’s sensations, biases, and privileges, held lightly so they can guide rather than govern.

  2. Relational Co‑Presence — a reciprocal encounter that honours multiple standpoints, makes power visible, and invites intersectional solidarity instead of expert‑led fixing.

  3. Planetary Co‑Presence — sensing the land, waters, and non‑human kin as active participants; resisting colonial separations by treating place as collaborator rather than backdrop.

In this stance, methods and models are kept within reach yet deliberately secondary. What catalyses change is the shared act of “being‑with,” from which fresh movements, stories, and responsibilities can emerge.

Approach:

  • How might we practise “listening with the whole body” before reaching for a tool, label, or diagnosis?
  • Which rituals help a group notice privilege, power, and place in the very moment of encounter?
  • How can non‑human presences (soil microbes, urban soundscapes, ancestral stories) be invited as equal contributors to the process?
  • What architectural or digital cues signal that presence—rather than productivity—is the highest value in this space?
