Schloss Trebnitz e. V. is an internationally oriented education and meeting center. In a historic setting, we create spaces for learning, exchange, and cultural participation. Our work is guided by openness, responsibility, and a strong belief in the power of education and encounter.
Our mission
We promote civic education, intercultural dialogue, and social participation – especially for children and young people, but also for adults. With a particular focus on German-Polish cooperation, we strengthen European thinking, mutual understanding, and sustainable partnerships in the border region and beyond.
Our values
Encounters on equal terms
We understand education as a dialogical process. We see diversity as an enrichment and as the basis for shared learning.
Democracy and responsibility
Our educational work promotes critical thinking, participation, and awareness of historical, political, and social contexts.
Internationality and interculturality
We connect people across borders and create learning spaces in which cultural differences are respected and common ground is strengthened.
Cultural and creative education
Art, culture, and media are central approaches in our work. They open up new perspectives, strengthen expressive abilities, and foster creativity.
Inclusion and participation
Our programs are open and accessible. We are committed to equal participation regardless of origin, language, gender, age, or individual circumstances.
Regional responsibility
As an educational and cultural place in a rural area, we are actively engaged in the Märkisch-Oderland region and strengthen local networks and civil society engagement.
Our understanding of education
We work in a participatory, practice-oriented, and process-based way. Our programs combine historical-political education, international youth encounters, cultural education, and adult education. We understand learning as a lifelong process that combines reflection, creativity, and collective action.
Our aspiration
We continuously develop our work, act in a sustainable and quality-conscious manner, and maintain reliable partnerships at regional, national, and international levels. Schloss Trebnitz e. V. is a place where we bring the past, present, and future into dialogue – for an open, democratic, and solidarity-based society.
