Explaining the subject

This project focuses on the following topics: to increase the success of the coming generation in school and training, to minimize the number of dropouts as well as the number of young people without qualifying graduation.
The need to help students develop their individual skills and abilities, to extend their key competences and to develop personalised concepts does exist, without doubt, and is being discussed extensively. 'Equal opportunities' and 'inclusion' are slogans which are used insistently in education policy, they are slogans which, however, cannot be put into practice adequately as the teaching staff feel left alone and overstrained.
In order to countersteer, existing concepts are to be used and developed further. The suggestions are based on the operating experience made by the partner institutions involved and they are presented here.
The presentation of the collected material is carried out in two steps, thus the structure of the project work is taken up. Firstly, the partners have endeavoured to describe and narrow down the problem.

In the second category we present case studies which describe the situation in the respective institutions. This shows what help the students experienced and how the support was useful to them.

We describe concrete cases in which counselling and offers of help were successful and the development of young students took a positive course.
The proposals for solution are meant as stimuli. The situations described can only be transferred conditionally and should be reappraised well concerning their adaptation.
