PROJEKTE

We are SPARKS

SPARKS paves the way for innovation at school.

We believe in giving teachers creative freedom. That’s why we translate the best approaches to good teaching into concrete teaching modules and bring them to as many schools as possible. SPARKS modules are easy to use and prepare students for tomorrow’s world.

Our services are free of charge and open to anyone who wants to redesign school.

Our offer

SPARKS teaching modules are integrated into the secondary school curriculum. Instead of voluntary extra-curricular activities, we focus on effective teaching at the heart of school life.

Our programme teaches key skills for the future: entrepreneurial spirit, courage and creativity, social and democratic cooperation, mental health, financial literacy and an interest in technology.

BEAM

BEAM (Business Entrepreneurship And Math) is a one-year programme in upper secondary school that connects school with the business world. Pupils pursue their own start-up ideas. Input comes from external experts.

IuM

IuM (Computer Science and Media Education) supports teachers in the new compulsory subject with practical materials and innovative concepts available for free download.

BU

BE YOU! is a teaching unit lasting several weeks for girls in Year 6 or 7 physical education classes. It combines exercise with personal development. For greater self-awareness, strength and cohesion.

All modules

We are currently developing these new offers.

School with **SPARKS**

We promote exchange among innovative teachers and create a network of innovative schools so that school inspires.

We believe that the German educational landscape, in which teaching content is determined by the Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs, still leaves a lot of room for creativity. We want to use this space and support teachers in experiencing school differently.
