Our institution was founded 30 years ago as an institution for adult education in rural areas. We offer seminars for political and cultural education as well as on the land and people in the state of Brandenburg. In addition, seminars on continuing vocational training in the agricultural sector can be attended. With our projects Agraraktiv and Landaktiv, our information offers on the „green professions” in agriculture are primarily aimed at schoolchildren. The Forum ländlicher Raum – Netzwerk Brandenburg is a dialogue platform for all actors involved in regional development. The focus is on communication with the local action groups. In addition, it promotes educational events in order to be able to deal with the challenges of rural areas in a qualified and well-founded manner.

Our house is located close to nature at Lake Seddin and offers 55 modern rooms für accomodation. We offer fresh meals served every day using regional products. We are conveniently located at the gates of Berlin and Potsdam and are also easy to reach by public transport.
