Who we are
Responsible body for Erlebnistage is the Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Erlebnispädagogik e. V. | GFE (Society for the Promotion of Experiential Education). Since being established in 1986, GFE is a free and non-profit organiser of youth work and adult education and officially recognised as deserving special support. Our experiential educational work is based on the principles of the New Education movement according to Kurt Hahn and John Dewey and guided by a modified Outward Bound approach. Our central goal is developing the personality. Physical activity and playing are vital elements on the route to achieving this goal. Nature is our preferred learning and experiencing space.
