Reunion 2026 – 80 Rings of Growth
July 4–5, 2026 | Hasliberg Goldern
After ten years, we are delighted to invite Ecolianers back to campus to celebrate 80 years of the Ecole in Goldern.
The 80 rings of growth have formed through the lives of generations of former Ecolianers. With this Reunion, we continue that story and draw inspiration from its roots for the Ecole of today and tomorrow – Ecole Now & Forever.
The Reunion is open to all former students, staff members, helpers, and volunteers, regardless of the year they were part of the Ecole.
Provisional Schedule
From 5:30 pm | Hasliberg Congress
“80 Years Rooted in Goldern”
A gala dinner, performances from special guests, and silent and live auctions await us – all to raise funds for scholarships for future Ecolianers through our Ecole Foundations (Stiftung Ecole d’Humanité and the Edith Geheeb-Cassirer Foundation in the US).
Participation in the benefit event is optional and requires a separate booking.

Registration Details
Form
Please register online by March 15, 2026, to support our planning.
The registration form includes all information regarding meals, accommodation, and optional programme elements.
Participation & Fees
This alumni reunion is intended to be accessible and affordable for everyone!
There is no fixed participation fee. We only charge the actual costs for food and campus accommodation, which are both optional. We trust that we will cover all further expenses (such as materials, rentals, postage, fees) with voluntary contributions. We will offer different ways to contribute on site.
Detailed pricing is provided in the registration form.
Meals and Refreshments
You can choose whether you will eat meals at the Ecole or if you want to bring your own food or eat somewhere else. Self-catering facilities will not be available. Cost for all meals (Saturday lunch and dinner, Sunday brunch) is CHF 60. Reduced prices are available for children under 10 - please contact us for more information.
Accommodation
Participants are generally responsible for arranging their own accommodation.
Support is available via Haslital Tourism.
A limited number of beds on campus is available.
As you remember, most of our student rooms are doubles. If you know who you would like to share a room with, please make sure that both of you add a comment about this. If you are happy to share with another ex-Ecolianer in need of a room, we will assign you a roommate (just like the good old days!).
The cost to stay in a student room (including bedding) is CHF 50 per bed. While the reunion does not officially start until Saturday morning, the rooms may be available Friday evening if your travel plans make Saturday arrival difficult.
Rooms are allocated on a first come, first served basis – early booking is strongly recommended.
Alumni Meetings around the World
On Saturday, July 4, the Schulgemeinde will be streamed live from campus, with regional alumni gatherings joining from around the globe.
Confirmed regional meetups so far:
Hamburg region – Eva Kempe
American Midwest – Dominik Strobel
Canada – Lisa Schumph
Meetups in Africa, Asia, South America, and Australia are still missing.
