5. Education in the Context of the Project

Education, as understood by the project, is not a means of adaptation but a path to self-realization. It is not about functionality in economics and administration but about the unfolding of the individual as a thinking, feeling, and responsible being.

A person is not educated because they know a lot, but because they understand what it means to be free, to bear responsibility, and to question themselves. Education in the project’s sense enables individuals to engage in genuine dialogue with others, respect differences, recognize complexity, and learn to live with ambiguity.

Thus, education must be more than instruction. It needs time, openness, reflection, and relationships. It must not become a commodity or a duty subjected to standardized testing. The project’s educational concept rejects all forms of commodification and conformity pressure.

An education system shaped by the project’s perspective trusts in the learner’s interest, offers diverse access points and perspectives, and acknowledges individual paths. It regards education not as a means of selection but as a space for encouragement.

Education is the key to freedom. Therefore, it is considered a human right in the project—not just granted but guaranteed. Only those who are educated can think freely—and live freely.
