Description of the Organization

We are a publishing house consisting of teachers publishing for teachers with the objective of helping with problems concerning school and youth work, e.g.:

  • Implementing curricula into everyday teaching. With concise and well organised material for further education, practical experience and training in methodology, we hope to provide complementary information     that is not covered by traditional school-books
  • Excessive workload: By providing school material that can be implemented instantly, we try to make sure teaching and engaging in youth work remains feasible
  • Problems affecting schools from the outside, like violence or lack of prospects

We develop feasible concepts for the benefit of all those involved.
