Fröbel in the world

Photography Competition

A happy game in kindergarten, a nature excursion with a teacher, group learning and creative afternoons – for many of us, these childhood memories are deeply rooted.

Friedrich Froebel is considered to be the founder of kindergarten. His ideas concerning childhood, education and upbringing, which revolutionized early childhood learning in his time, remain highly relevant today. His work is recognized worldwide and his influence on early childhood education has impacted many other disciplines, such as art and architecture. However, despite all this, awareness of Froebel and his importance in Germany appear to be dwindling. We want to change this!

JURY

An expert jury made up of Fröbel experts and keen photographers has been assembled to judge the pictures and name the winners. The jury includes representatives from the following institutions, associations and projects:

Friedrich Fröbel Museum, Bad Blankenburg
Fröbelverein Oberweißbach e.V.
Fotoprojekt photogenX, Hawaii
Gesellschaft für Fotografie e.V., Landesverband Thüringen

PARTICIPATIONS

The Photography Competition is part of the Fröbel Decade. Until 2020, when the theme “Froebel’s Ideas in Germany and the World” is planned, the best photographs will be judged annually.

Themenjahr 2022 - Fröbel heute

Fröbels pädagogische Leistung, für damalige Zeiten revolutionär, führte weltweit zu nachhaltigen Aktivitäten und weitreichenden Veränderungen der pädagogischen Praxis. Fröbel zählt damit zu den Klassikern der frühkindlichen Pädagogik und ist heute wieder hochaktuell.

Das Themenjahr 2022 wird Fröbel mit all seinen Facetten – als Freund der Natur, Vater des Kindergartens, Schulmann, als gläubiger und politischer Mensch, Teil der Moderne, Ideengeber für Deutschland und die Welt und Erfinder des Erziehungsberufes – erneut beleuchten. Vor allem aber blicken wir nach vorn und fragen, wo sich die Fröbelsche Philopophie im aktuellen Leben verstetigt hat und wo und wie sie darüber hinaus eine Rolle spielen kann und soll.
