Trägerkreis Junge Flüchtlinge e.V.

Qui sommes-nous

The Circle of Young Refugees (Trägerkreis Junge Flüchtlinge e. V.) was founded in 2000 and is committed to the education of refugee children and young people, who can not be fully integrated into existing public education or can only get inferior placements.

The aim is to give young refugees their human right to education and thereby enable their active participation in society.

What we do
• The SchlaU-Schule and SchlaU transition-school-job (see below) are at the centre of uur work. In addition, the association offers education, awareness raising and training of important multipliers and institutions for all issues concerning minors and young refugees.
• In 2016, the SchlaU Workshop for Migration Education was founded, which in addition to research and internal school counselling, conceives and implements further training courses and develops teaching materials for young refugees.
• Finally, the Circle of Young Refugees offers the internally and externally operating subsidiary SchlaU-Workshop für Migration Education (formerly SchlaU SerVer).

SchlaU stands for "school-analogue lessons for unaccompanied, underage refugees". Our work ranges from strengthening the personalities of the often traumatized adolescents, to literacy and German classes and leading them up to the School lLeaving Certificate. During these two to three years on average, the parentless refugees acquire the key skills they need to survive in education and on the labour market.

Programs:
• SchlaU School: The SchlaU school team sees school as a space for mutual learning that promotes personal development and opens up future prospects. In contrast to the regular school, the concept of school-analogue instruction for young refugees relies on a permeable class system and on low class sizes with an average of 16 students per class. The different life-paths and learning biographies of the pupils make an individual and above all social-pedagogical care essential.
• SchlaU transition School-Job - The aftercare program of the SchlaU School: The program is financed by the KURT & MARIA DOHLE Foundation, the City of Munich and the European Social Fund. The employees are already familiar to the pupils from their school days.. Together with volunteers, four teachers in the SchlaU School offer after-school care in the individual professions or for school education as well as interdisciplinary competence support such as time and exam management. In addition to this support, the young people can take advantage of the counseling services offered by the social workers.
• SchlaU-Werkstatt für Migration education: Founded in January 2016, we operate in close cooperation with our schools and the follow-up program SchlaU transition school-job under the umbrella of the circle of young refugees. With the founding of the SchlaU workshop, we want to share our experiences of the past 16 years of educational work in the migration society and school analogue instruction for young refugees by building on existing work, but we also seek to solve practical problems based on our own research. With our work we want to affect pedagogical practice and enrich teacher training as well as improving socio-educational and psychological training and sharpening scientific discourse. In addition to the research work, the individual areas of activity of the SchlaU workshop include the publication of an extensive series of teaching material for teaching new immigrated young people, as well as a comprehensive, advanced training program.
