Primary education

Since prices are increasing and we will start charging entrance fees for individual children from the age of 4 in 2025, we are forced to also increase the prices for educational programs for schools per
1-1-2025. Here we assume package prices per (max.) 16 pupils for primary and secondary schools.

For the PO, 2 programs have been developed.

  • Group 4/5 "Tie a banana around your feet"
  • group 6/7/8 "Shoe stories"

The programs align with core objectives 39, 42, 44, 45, 55, 56 of the SLO and the acquisition of 21st -century skills. They fit into a continuous learning line. The programs are offered in modules, which can be taken as complete projects or separately in combinations. In consultation, customization is possible.

Themes group 4/5: heritage, materials, sustainability.
Learning Objectives: Students know the origins of various innovative materials and know different shoe closures. They know what sustainability means and can relate this to the shoe. Students creatively explore the reuse of materials as an application to shoes.

Themes group 6/7/8: heritage, living and working during the Industrial Revolution, innovation and sustainable materials, fashion and identity.
Learning Objectives: Students learn how child labor and traditional roles were expressed when working in the factory. The students know how leather and innovative materials can contribute to sustainability. They know how (shoe) fashion expresses one's identity.
