(2020 – 2025)
Together with the Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk e. V., the Kinderwelten/ISTA specialist unit will form the "Competence network for early childhood education and education at primary level". The project is part of the "Promoting democracy" field of action of the BMFSFJ federal programme "Live democracy!" and is scheduled to run for 5 years. The aim is to raise the profile of daycare centres and after-school care centres as democratic places of learning. The competence network is tasked with supporting specialist practice and the providers of the facilities with educational concepts, training measures, materials, specialist events, counselling services and practical research.
The plan is to network with the model projects for the promotion of democracy in childhood, which are also funded by the BMFSFJ. Overall, the aim is to provide impetus for the regular practice of daycare centres and school childcare facilities, to which we, as sponsors of the competence network, contribute our respective professional perspectives: The Deutsches Kinderhilfswerk e. V. (DKHW) stands for children's rights-based democracy education with a focus on children's rights education and child participation, we as the Kinderwelten/ISTA specialist centre stand for the approach of prejudice-conscious education and upbringing© with a focus on inclusion, diversity and protection against discrimination.
The project is co-financed by the Berlin Senate Department for Education, Youth and Family.
