De Gelukstuin

De Gelukstuin is a Dutch educational initiative based in Waalre-Dorp that plans to launch an inclusive integral educational center for children with special needs by August 2027. The facility will operate as a mini-society where learning occurs both indoors and outdoors, focusing on personalized development paths rather than traditional classroom structures or subject silos.

• Services: Provides individualized education plans tailored to each child's intrinsic interests and developmental goals through collaborative professional support.
• Industries: Serves the special needs sector within the Brainport region by fostering a community of professionals, parents, and children.
• Innovation: Implements an environment-based approach that integrates nature as a rhythm and partner for learning while abandoning standard grade-level systems.

The center aims to cultivate conscious life attitudes that empower children to become self-aware global citizens connected to themselves and their world.
