Together for quality: Involving children in all-day care and education (expired)

Aim of the ESF Plus federal programme Together for Quality: Involving children in all-day care and education ("Gemeinsam für Qualität: Kinder beteiligen im Ganztag") was to provide impetus for the necessary development of all-day care and education for children of primary school age while ensuring the associated quality standards and guaranteeing educational and participation opportunities for all children.

The creation of participatory structures in the all-day primary school system as a joint offer of schools and the youth welfare system was a central concern of the programme. The main goal was to consolidate the fundamental right of adolescents of participation, to promote the establishment and maintenance of a democratic society and to support the development of the work in all-day schools regarding quality by changing the culture of learning and teaching. The central starting point in this process was the needs of the children. Accordingly, the focus was on promoting participatory structures for children over the course of the entire school day, i.e. fostering democratic interaction in school care and education.

The aim of the funding was to develop planning and action competence through further training and support for the creation of a high-quality all-day care while promoting participatory structures and democratic action. This was to be achieved through:

  • corresponding skill training for experts and teaching staff
  • the development and implementation of participatory services to promote democratic action by the qualified experts and teaching staff
  • the development or redevelopment of all-day school schemes that are directly related to the promotion of participation or the expansion of participatory structures
  • the (continued) development of a nationally applicable curriculum for qualifications to teach planning and action skills

It was expected that 150 all-day care and education primary schools would receive funding all across the country.
