Giving and receiving feedback: we make efforts to establish feedback as a culture for all involved, but also as relates to our own perception. We understand this feedback culture as a circular system, since the actions of every individual always have an effect on the process as a whole too.Feedback requires a safe and defined framework as well as meaningful criteria. By no means is it always about making value judgements. Especially non-judgemental impulses can help to deepen awareness.
In this spirit, feedback is a recursive process that triggers awareness and enables experience.

Not everything goes according to plan in a school setting. But you can always stop for a moment of silence and reflect.
