Wortmann Medienwerkstatt

What Wortmann Medienwerkstatt does

Wortmann Medienwerkstatt is a German media education workshop (legally organized as a GbR partnership) that delivers digital media literacy training to children, youth, and adults. Its service portfolio consists of day workshops, week-long workshops, and long-term media projects led by the founder as project leader, using a hands-on, play-based methodology that combines creative expression with media competence development. The firm positions itself around helping participants understand both the opportunities and risks of digital technologies and to critically engage with online content. No proprietary technology platform is described; the offering is service-delivered and practitioner-led.

The firm's flagship named product is Cubix – Deine Welt. Deine Stimme. Dein Abenteuer!, a Minecraft-based educational project hosted on a dedicated microsite (minecraftkurs.de) that uses the game environment to develop media competence and creativity in children and youth. Supporting services include project conception (ideation, framing, content and feasibility scoping) and implementation support for media projects carried out with groups and organizations. Distribution is regional and direct, with no public pricing, no published customer logos, and no disclosed revenue, headcount, or funding.

The business model is workshop- and project-based fee-for-service delivery, with content marketing via the corporate website (projekte, blog, werkstatt, kursbeispiele, equipment, downloadbereich) as the primary demand-generation channel. The firm received the Dieter-Baacke-Preis 2025 from the Gesellschaft für Medienpädagogik und Kommunikationskultur for the Cubix project, the principal third-party validation on record. Operationally the entity appears to be a micro/founder-led practice: a GbR legal form, no subsidiaries, no investors, no public pricing, and a regional rather than national or international footprint.

Regional players

• JFF – Institut für Medienpädagogik in Forschung und Praxis: German research and practice institute focused on media pedagogy with children, youth, and families. Directly comparable as another Germany-based media-education organization offering projects, workshops, and practitioner training, though operating at significantly larger institutional scale.

Emerging players

• klicksafe: German/EU media-literacy initiative (coordinated by FSM and LMK) producing educational materials, projects, and workshops for children, youth, and adults on safe, critical use of digital media — overlapping strongly with Wortmann's media-competence mission.
• Common Sense Education: US-based nonprofit providing media-literacy and digital-citizenship curricula, lesson plans, and educator training for K–12. Comparable in mission (digital/media literacy for children and educators) and workshop-style delivery format.
• Tynker: Game-based coding and creative-learning platform for children using block-based and Python programming. Comparable through its use of game-mechanic-driven learning experiences aimed at building digital competence in kids.

Broad incumbents

• Minecraft Education: Microsoft's official education edition of Minecraft, used in schools worldwide for game-based, project-led learning. Comparable because Wortmann's Cubix product is built directly on top of this platform and targets the same Minecraft-native learning use case.
• Code.org: Major nonprofit promoting computer science and digital literacy through free curricula, workshops, and the Hour of Code. Comparable in delivering playful, project-based digital-skills learning to children and educators, including through game-based formats.

Others

• Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle Multimedia (FSM): German self-regulation body for digital media that also runs media-literacy projects for children, youth, and educators. Comparable as a Germany-based organization pursuing media-competence outcomes through workshops and educational materials.
• Gesellschaft für Medienpädagogik und Kommunikationskultur (GMK): Germany's leading professional association for media education; the body that awards the Dieter-Baacke-Preis. Comparable as a media-education ecosystem participant with overlapping audience and award context, though functioning as an association rather than a workshop provider.
