A day full of feedback – basic education is taking a break

On November 12th, the Basic Education Project with around fifty employees for his annual team retreat in a place that seemed tailor-made for meeting and reflection: Miller-Aichholz Castle in the Europahaus, nestled in the quiet, late autumn landscape.

The day was led by Daniela Schwarz and Georg Krewenka, who guided the participants through the program with great empathy and sensitivity. Under their moderation, a space was created that was far more than just an organizational meeting: a safe haven where reflection, personal growth, and an honest look inward became possible.

Outside, November hung heavy over the trees, gray and almost silent, yet it became clear how much life could be found in simply stepping outside together. Between damp meadows and cool paths, there was laughter, experimentation, and observation. Small experiments transformed into profound "aha!" moments. Unassuming exercises yielded valuable insights that will stay with the team for a long time to come.

It was a day when the sense of togetherness noticeably deepened: in conversations, in wonder, in listening to one another. A day that showed that teamwork doesn't just happen in physical spaces, but in shared experiences – sometimes especially when the sky is low and the colors of autumn are fading.
