Supporting newly arrived parents – a guide
To be able to support their children well and quickly in the education system of Baden-Württemberg from the very beginning, newly arrived parents need information that is tailored to their situation. The project 'frEi' was developed in collaboration between the Non-Profit Parents’ Foundation of Baden-Württemberg and the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports. Its aim is to help families who have recently moved to Baden-Württemberg to become familiar with the education system in a timely manner and to provide them with tailored information in a simple and clear way.
The Wegweiser website assists parents in finding their way in their new home and shows, among other things, integration officers, parent representatives, teachers, educational professionals, and mentors who are in contact with newly arrived parents, a variety of options for support. The goal is to promote the participation of newly arrived families and to achieve greater equity in the education system for children and adolescents.
Multilingual Materials for parents and educational professionals
In the project frEi, multilingual brochures and materials are regularly produced. The aim is to provide newly arrived parents with easy access to the education system in Baden-Württemberg. Parents can find a wide range of multilingual materials on our website, which explain topics from daycare to the school system to career orientation in a detailed yet simple and understandable way.
Educational professionals and teachers are supported in their communication with parents through our multilingual forms. For example, they can find forms such as invitations to parent-teacher meetings or parent-teacher conferences. Our brochures provide information on important topics, such as cultural sensitivity in education.
All materials can be downloaded for free or ordered for free at bestellung@elternstiftung.de.
