KOMPETENZLABO – experiencing and promoting participation
The topic of participation is particularly important to us. Therefore, in addition to museum work, we offer the Competence Lab as a contact point for institutions, communities, and individuals who work with children and want to promote or further expand participatory structures.
Tout ce qui concerne la participation (des enfants) !
Building on many years of experience, the competence lab offers a wide range of further training, individual advice, and materials regarding participation. In addition, national projects are initiated together with partner institutions. This includes a children’s conference that takes place once every year and focuses on topics related to children’s rights, participation, and expression of opinion: the CHICO.
“Participation means
giving children a voice.”
FAQ
The Kompetenzlabo offers a diverse and free range of further training courses, specialist support and materials on the topic of participation. What exactly does this offer look like?
With its free range of further training courses, specialist support and educational materials, the Kompetenzlabo is aimed at institutions, municipalities and specialists from the (non-)formal sector.
In our training courses, specialists from the non-formal education sector can test and discover participatory methods to shape their professional practice diversely.
As part of specialist support, the Kompetenzlabo supports you in the participatory design of your projects with children. The scope and form of support are defined in a joint introductory meeting. The duration of specialist support is individually adapted to the needs of the children and the facility and can therefore vary greatly over time.
We are continuously developing materials on the topic of child participation in the competence lab.
