In ODERLAND-SPREE, diversity is the order of the day. Whether kindergarten, school, training or study - our educational institutions are characterized by a large number of different profiles and offers. Unique in Brandenburg and in Germany is the promotion of German-Polish multilingualism, which is already lived in kindergarten. Educational institutions with a focus on sports, arts, social, language and MINT subjects characterize our school landscape. And the Viadrina in the heart of the twin city is a university whose international orientation is pioneering and unique.

Truth in itself is precious, but even more precious is the skill of finding it.
