When School Becomes the Atelier of Democracy

The exhibition School Makes Democracy – Democracy Makes School of the Special Educational Support Center Freising transforms the hallways of vhs Freising into a vibrant learning and thinking space. On October 5, 2026, it invites visitors to see democracy not as an abstract concept but as a lived experience in school life.

Colorful Posters, Clear Questions

At the center are large, colorful posters developed by students under the direction of Stephan Häberl. Their works combine graphic design with political education and pose fundamental questions about coexistence: How do people treat each other with respect? How are school rules created? What responsibility does each individual bear?

Democracy as Aesthetic Experience

The exhibition offers an immediate confrontation between poster art, cultural education, and social learning. Colors, shapes, and short messages condense complex societal issues into accessible visual impulses. The exhibition atmosphere in the hallways of the first and second floors makes vhs an open place for exchange.

From School Life to the World

The presented works lead from immediate interactions in school to broader questions of solidarity. What do we celebrate together? What significance do children and people outside our own school, Freising, or Europe have? Thus, the exhibition expands the view from personal experience to global interconnectedness and democratic responsibility.

Art, Education, and Participation

The curation of the exhibition follows a participatory approach: children and young people are made visible as active designers of their living environment. The artistic experience connects artistic forms of expression with cultural education and shows how an aesthetic experience can spark societal conversations.

Conclusion: Democracy Begins in Everyday Life

Visitors can expect an engaging, accessible, and colorful exhibition on respect, participation, rules, and solidarity. Anyone wanting to see, question, and rediscover democratic values in everyday life will find an inspiring place for reflection and conversation at vhs Freising. Use your visit as a cultural enrichment and experience the exhibition live.
