Welcome

to Enhancing Learning and
Development Through Nature

Who we are

We are the Matthias Educational Initiative, an institution of the highest caliber, founded in the year 2021. Under the exceptional leadership of CEO Matthias Hoffmann, a visionary expert with a profound background in Social Pedagogy and extensive international knowledge, we stand as pioneers in the realm of education. Our institution is defined by an unwavering passion for nurturing and unlocking the boundless potential within every child. We take immense pride in embodying the vision of a holistic educational system that amalgamates academic expertise with practical application.



What we do

Our pursuits encompass a vast spectrum of educational initiatives meticulously crafted to foster the sustainable psychological, cognitive, and emotional development of children and adolescents. Our aspiration is not merely to instruct but to inspire and shape. In close collaboration with educational institutions worldwide, including kindergartens, schools, universities, and civil society organizations, we ardently champion the fortification and advancement of the pedagogical development of children and adolescents.





A hallmark project that epitomizes our mission and has garnered international recognition is the "Nature's Call" initiative. Within this framework, we staunchly advocate for young children in preschool and kindergarten to partake in direct communion with nature for their learning and growth. We firmly believe that education should not occur within the confines of four walls. Instead, we endorse active, experiential learning in the outdoors, where nature serves as the ultimate teacher. This approach has demonstrated that acquired knowledge is more enduring and profound when gained through hands-on experience and direct engagement.

However, our work extends beyond the realms of education. We are committed to raising environmental awareness and instilling eco-consciousness from early childhood onwards. This forms an integral part of our mission, which seeks not only academic excellence but also social engagement and ethical values.

Collectively, we embody the fusion of knowledge, education, and practical application in a manner that enriches the educational landscape and shapes the future of our children and our world. Our international engagement transcends national boundaries, and we take pride in playing a pivotal role in shaping a global educational agenda. We are the Matthias Educational Initiative – pioneers in education, architects of the future, and ambassadors for sustainable learning and living.
