District: Osterholz

For over ten years, the QBZ Blockdiek of the Hans-Wendt-Foundation has been tasked with improving the educational opportunities in the Blockdiek district for children aged 0 to 12 and their parents – always taking into account the specific circumstances of the district.

We offer:

  • Courses and advice on pregnancy and early childhood; cooperation partners include the Midwifery Center East, course instructors, and the Blockdiek Mothers' Center
  • Advice for families provided by the Office for Social Services
  • Parent training courses led by family educators from the Hans-Wendt Foundation
  • Integration courses from other providers
  • Social group work for children
  • Open programs for parents and their children

Network & Cooperations

The QBZ's event and consultation rooms are located on the grounds of the Düsseldorfer Straße all-day elementary school. The QBZ maintains a close partnership with the school.

In working groups and the QBZ project group, the QBZ management is responsible for addressing and consolidating social and educational issues and developing joint solutions with the network. The network consists of representatives from all institutions and initiatives in the district that work with children and their parents. Regular working groups, workshops, and planning days are held for this purpose.

Close cooperation partners also include the Senator for Children and Education, the Hemelingen-Osterholz Social Center, the Advisory Board and the Osterholz Local Office.

The QBZ management currently also has the task of organizing and implementing the promotion of the neighborhood centers (QZ) program – within the framework of the state program Living Neighborhoods (LLQ) – as network coordinator Blockdiek.
