Education needs new structures.
We build them.

A platform for people, organizations and initiatives who are ready to rethink education – not as theory, but as lived reality.

IBOP is an education provider, a network, and a space for research and development.
We create the conditions for learning environments that actually work.

.

WHO WE ARE

Education needs real connection – to people and to the world we live in.

Today, this connection is often missing.
And the consequences are visible everywhere.

Education shapes whether people find their place.
Not through adaptation or resistance –
but through development in real interaction with life.

Yet current systems often fail to support this.

Not because people are incapable.
But because the structures are not built to hold it.

We believe:
Education can be designed as a stable and living reality that enables growth.

WHAT WE DO

We develop spaces where people can grow.

IBOP designs and operates learning environments for young people –
built on clarity, structure, and real-world relevance.

We don’t start with theory.
We start with reality.

We combine:

educational practice

We turn legal and structural requirements into effective frameworks for impactful educational work.

.

Network & co-creation

We bring the right people and organisations together—so that development and sustainable projects can emerge.

Building bridges & implementation

We connect what is legally possible with what is actually needed—and implement it in practical terms.

HOW WE WORK

Schools do not fail because of ambition—but because of implementation.

Expectations of education are high. Reality often falls short.

Not because commitment is lacking, but because sustainable strategies are missing.

IBOP works precisely at this point; we examine what truly works:

• how learning actually works
• how systems provide reliable support

We translate natural, often unconscious learning processes into effective structures for everyday life.

This creates education that is not only conceived—but effective in everyday practice.

OUR APPROACH – PERMAGOGY

School as a living system.

Our approach is based on permagogy.

We work with what is already there—in people, organisations and social contexts.

School is not an isolated place, but a living system.

An interplay of:

• people
• relationships
• structures
• decisions

Education emerges precisely in this interplay.

Not detached from life—but as part of it.

WHAT CONNECTS US

Education emerges through relationships.

IBOP is a growing network of:

• educators
• entrepreneurs
• partners
• and people who take responsibility for education

What connects us is not only a goal—but a shared mindset.

Development becomes possible where people take responsibility
and act effectively together.

OUR CORE MESSAGE

Education works only through collaboration.

Education becomes effective only when pedagogy, organisation and responsibility
are conceived and implemented together.

Often, a great deal is thought through—and too little is done well.

We work in a clear cycle:

think – act – reflect – adapt

Only patterns and strategies that can evolve are sustainable.

Everything else remains piecemeal.
And that is precisely why education so often fails today.

WHERE WE ARE HEADING

A model that endures and grows.

IBOP is developing a transferable model.

The approach is designed to be applied
and further developed at multiple locations.

Not theory, but practice that works.

Educational environments that:
• are individually tailored
• are structurally sustainable

• are socially impactful

A system that can grow without losing quality.

.

OUR MISSION

Education as the foundation for future viability.

The way we shape education determines how we live as a society.

The future emerges where capabilities grow:

• the ability to take responsibility

• the ability to build community

• the ability to integrate different perspectives

All of these are lifelong development processes.

IBOP understands education as the space in which exactly this emerges.

WHERE WE STAND

From approach to implementation.

First location:
Eine-Welt-Schule Markgräflerland

• The approval process is underway
• Partnerships are in place and growing
• Funding has begun and will be further expanded

In parallel, IBOP is developing the structure for additional locations.

FUNDING & PARTICIPATION

Enabling the launch together

The establishment of the Eine-Welt-Schule Markgräflerland is no longer an idea—it is already a reality.

Over the past years, more than €90,000 has been invested in the establishment.

Of this, around €80,000 went directly into the founding process, including for:

Renovations and use of premises
IT infrastructure and servers
Rent and utilities
Equipment and furnishings
Public relations
as well as initial staffing contributions

How the school sustains itself

The school is structured so that, in the first three years,
it finances itself through its own resources—through:

School fees
Education loans
supplementary donations
as well as guarantees to provide security

What is currently needed

For the start in September, the following is currently still missing:
€30,000

Our goal:
€10,000 per month (April – June)

This will ensure the launch is financially secure and sustainable.

10,000 reached, 30,000 still to go to reach the goal

Guarantees

To secure the education loan from GLS Bank
additional guarantees are required.

Individual guarantees are possible from €3,000.

INVITATION

Education emerges where people take responsibility together.

IBOP grows through people coming together.

With a shared focus on education:

• where people can thrive
• where community is created
• and where responsibility is lived

In doing so, we align ourselves with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
as a global framework for responsible action.

We are looking for partners who will shape and implement education together with us.
