Power to the Kids? - Educator Doreen Hoffmann Advocates for More Humanity and Trust in the Young Generation


Doreen Hoffmann, a dedicated educator, paints an inspiring picture in her interview of a more humane future where children and their needs take center stage.


Drawing from her experiences at a free school, she highlights the positive changes possible when we dare to break old thought patterns and place more trust in the younger generation.

Hoffmann, a mother of two, sees worrying trends in current societal developments. Humanity is increasingly being lost, technical solutions are displacing interpersonal interactions, and children’s needs are often ignored. She is particularly critical of the situation in mainstream schools, where she believes children are overly conditioned for functionality and restricted in their free development.

Hoffmann advocates for a fundamental shift in the education system, moving away from rigid structures toward an individualized approach that focuses on each child’s strengths and talents. Her experiences at the free school, which operates on reform pedagogical principles, reinforce this belief. There, children experience how they can actively shape their learning processes and pursue their individual interests. They learn to take responsibility, resolve conflicts constructively, and see themselves as part of a community.

Hoffmann is convinced that children carry “a tremendous treasure” within them, which adults should discover and nurture. She encourages those who dream of a free school to take the leap and not be discouraged by bureaucratic hurdles or financial challenges. The key, she says, is to develop a clear plan, seek allies, and proceed step by step while remaining open to new ideas and “never stopping dreaming.”

Hoffmann is a firm optimist: she believes in the power of change and that together, we can create a more humane and just world. This requires courage, trust in our own abilities, and a willingness to take responsibility—not just for ourselves but for the community as well. She emphasizes the importance of consciously using our “power” and not abusing it.

Hoffmann’s plea for more humanity, trust in children, and taking responsibility is an inspiring call to all of us to actively shape the future. She demonstrates that positive change is possible if we have the courage to break free from old patterns and forge new paths.
