Miriam Bruderer: Battlefield School, Gebunden

Klappentext

What if school could be a place of peace, curiosity and genuine connection, for everyone? In the year 2100, the battles of the classroom, the staff room and the parents' evening have long since faded into memory. Children and adults learn together in living, breathing learning villages surrounded by nature. There are no grades, no comparisons, no fear of not being enough. Every person is honoured for their own unique gifts, and every single day begins with a few quiet minutes of meditation, the true gold that opens hearts, sharpens intuition and lets people finally see one another clearly.

Miriam Bruderer, a longtime school principal, invites you into this radiant vision of the future and shows you, step by step, how humanity might get there. Drawing on her own vivid memories as a schoolgirl, a mother and a principal, she traces the quiet fears, power struggles and old wounds that once turned school into a battlefield, and reveals how each of them can be transformed into an opportunity for growth, compassion and connection.

This is far more than a critique of the past. It is a bold, heartfelt and at times playful invitation to imagine what becomes possible when self reflection replaces blame, when mistakes are welcomed as steps toward growth, and when meditation becomes as natural as breathing. Along the way, you will meet a butterfly struggling free of its cocoon, a puzzle whose true picture only appears once every piece shines in its own colour, and a series of questions designed to spark real conversations and discussions.

Warm, visionary and refreshingly honest, Battlefield School is an invitation to everyone, parents, teachers, school leaders, education policy makers, lecturers, grandparents and dreamers alike, to imagine the school and the world we truly want, and to take the first courageous step toward it today.
