Our Team
With a scientific background in International Development and Communication Science, Lennart Reymann started as a Teach For Austria Fellow at the prevocational school “Im Zentrum” in 2014. In 2015 he initiated a project class, focused on language acquisition in an extracurricular setting that opened up possibilities for teaching and learning previously thought unthinkable. In doing so he realized that change is possible within Austrian schools today. However, to enable all schools in Austria to work as learning organisms and in order to move forward towards educational justice, he believes that the organizational level must be changed. Co-founding Framework Education was his way of tackling this issue.
After studying International Relations, Amke worked as a Consultant in the finance sector and at the OSCE, before becoming a Teach for Austria Fellow in 2014. Since then she has been active in local politics and has founded a startup that offers consulting at intersection of education and businesses.

Sharing the unique perspective of an American growing up in a German speaking country has been Max’s passion and career path. He worked as an English teacher for children and adults aged 3 to 99 before taking up a more academic trajectory. The experience he’s gained working with such a diverse set of students over the years has been essential for his current work as a cultural mediator and translator. His goal has always been the same: To level the playing field, so that actors from different walks of life and cultural backgrounds can come together as equals and develop better solutions.

“We’re not going to save this planet and ourselves by perfecting the old education systems we have in place now. We must reimagine education, grounded in the vision and values of students and families who are experiencing those systems. I’m inspired by FrEdu’s efforts to ask the hard questions of WHY and WHO as a means of unleashing educators’ leadership toward reimagining education.”
