When School Becomes the Atelier of Democracy

The exhibition School Makes Democracy – Democracy Makes School of the Special Educational Support Center Freising transforms the halls of vhs Freising into a colorful learning and thinking space. From October 2 to 26, 2026, students will show how democratic education becomes visible, tangible, and shapeable in everyday school life.

Colorful Posters, Clear Messages

The focus is on large, colorful posters created under the guidance of Stephan Häberl. The works combine graphic design with political education. Concise rules and short messages condense complex societal issues into immediately accessible visual impulses.

Democracy Begins in Daily Togetherness

The analysis of the works leads straight into central questions of coexistence: How do people treat each other with respect? How do students communicate with each other? What significance do school rules, responsibility, and co-determination have? The exhibition makes democracy visible as a concrete experience – in the classroom, on the schoolyard, and in the community.

An Exhibition Between Art and Cultural Education

The presentation combines painting, graphic design, and educational mediation into a unique aesthetic experience. Color, form, and text create a lively exhibition atmosphere in the hallways of vhs. The works invite reflection on children's rights, solidarity, diversity, and global responsibility.

A Look Beyond School and City

The students also turn their attention to the world outside their school, Freising, and Europe. This creates a sensitive approach to questions of belonging and social engagement. The exhibition shows how cultural education makes political topics comprehensible and takes young perspectives seriously.

Conclusion: Discovering Democracy as an Art Experience

Visitors can expect an accessible, colorful exhibition with clear statements and thought-provoking questions. The art experience connects political education, work analysis, and lived togetherness. A visit to vhs Freising enriches the aesthetic experience and opens new perspectives on how democracy can grow in everyday life.
