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.”
