NetzWege: Basic education | rethinking local communities
Network building and cooperative strategy development of Hessian municipalities on the local basic education situation
The "NetzWege" project works in and with municipalities to sustainably embed basic education in the municipal education landscape so that more people can participate in basic education programs. The project operates in collaboration with Arbeit und Leben Hessen (AuL) and involas - Institute for Vocational Training, Labor Market and Social Policy.
Target group
- (Young) adults without a school leaving certificate with basic education needs who are in the transition from school to work in the district of Darmstadt-Dieburg
- Mothers with German as a second or foreign language who have basic education needs in the city of Offenbach
The project is oriented toward local communities and social partnerships. The project develops target group-specific basic education pathways and sustainably embeds basic education in local communities.
Goals
- Identifying and closing gaps in potential basic education learning pathways
- Anchoring basic education structures in already established municipal educational landscapes
- Establishment of a municipal basic education network
- Systematization of the processes to make them transferable to other municipalities.
Content & Services
The project's starting point is an analysis of the structural and process design of municipal (basic) education programs. The analysis focuses on the programs and existing gaps in these programs, as well as the possible learning paths of both target groups. These gaps and the identified needs will be addressed so that basic education becomes an essential component of the municipal educational landscape and educational policy activities in the long term.
How we implement the project:
- Close cooperation with local education stakeholders
- Visualization and integration of basic education offerings in the two model communities
- Establishment of a municipal basic education network
- Development and consolidation of basic education pathways
- Development of advisory and orientation packages for municipalities and consultants
- Transfer of the municipal basic education strategy to other municipalities
Duration & Course
The project started on August 1, 2024, and will run for three years (until July 31, 2027).
Financial support
The project is funded by the "National Decade for Literacy and Basic Education." The AlphaDecade is a joint initiative of the federal government, the states, and socio-political partners. Its goal is to improve literacy skills and raise the basic education level of adults in Germany between 2016 and 2026.
