Schulfarm Insel Scharfenberg, founded as a reform pedagogical experiment
in the Weimar Republic, has implemented a radically democratic school
concept. In this boarding school, built on an island of the Tegel lake
in Berlin, teachers and students held open debates on discussion forums
and voted on everything related to the school’s duties even its most
basic operational functioning. Everyone had one vote, both students and
teachers. Through depicting the history of the school, Die Insel
examines what society, politics, the school itself could – or couldn’t –
do with this heritage, in the fascistic Germany of the ‘30s, during
World War 2 and then in the ‘50s, in ‘68, or in the ‘90s. And what can
we do with it today?
