Family Workshop Bremen

Family workshop Bremen and outpatient services Stuhr

Absolutely there for children and young people

The Familienwerkstatt Bremen provides advice, support and empowerment for children, young people and families

Mutual trust and respect form the basis of our work with young people. We believe it's important to take them seriously. During our mentoring, we want to support them in developing realistic goals for their future and strengthen their self-confidence so they can then continue on their path independently.

We believe that parents remain parents – even when family difficulties arise. We strive to make our collaboration with parents as open and transparent as possible. We want parents to take responsibility and actively shape their parental role again.

Our approach – systemic and solution-oriented

School, daycare, or the surrounding community – for children and young people to thrive, they often need more than just their families. That's why collaborations are so important. In our work, we make sure to keep a broad perspective and look at what else is possible. Together with all the people and institutions involved, we want to develop sustainable solutions.

Our communication – transparent and open

In our experience, good cooperation is most successful in an open atmosphere and with clear, reliable communication – in all directions: children and young people, parents, institutions and authorities. In other words, we say what we do.

Parents' evenings for school and daycare

Information evenings for parents and educators

TV, PC and Co. – Of mice & monsters in the children's room…

Media have long since become an integral part of children's everyday lives. Media use is naturally among children's most popular leisure activities. Even preschoolers use media daily: they listen to CDs and cassettes, look at picture books, watch television, and play on computers or tablets. They usually approach new technologies and media worlds quite openly and with a great deal of curiosity. However, adults often find it difficult to imagine what it means to grow up naturally in a multimedia environment. Consequently, there is often considerable uncertainty about the impact of these media experiences on children's development and their understanding of the world. How does media content affect children, and is there such a thing as too much media? When is a little more okay, and when is it enough?

Information evenings for parents and educators

The information evenings offer parents and educators the opportunity to explore the media landscape of children up to 8 years old. Following an engaging introduction to the topic, a short presentation will provide foundational knowledge about children's media use and the perception and impact of media. An open discussion will then cover tips for managing media in everyday family life and offer guidance on suitable TV programs, computer games, and apps. Of course, the evening will also provide time for sharing experiences and asking questions. We are happy to come to your daycare center for this event.

The information evenings are organized by Blickwechsel eV – Association for Media and Cultural Education. The parents' evenings are financed by the Bremen State Media Authority and are free of charge for the kindergartens.

Parents' evening on the media worlds of young people

Parents' evening on the various aspects of media use

How about a parents' evening to discuss the various aspects of media use? What do the children do online? What important functions does the online world fulfill in their development? What opportunities does this (free) space offer? But also: What could be risky?

You will receive answers to these and other questions at a free parents' evening. The exchange with other parents of the class is just as valuable as the presentation itself.

The Bremen State Media Authority finances these events, therefore they are free of charge for schools and youth organizations. Specific topics can be agreed upon.

Parents' evening on the media worlds of young people

The internet has become an integral part of most children's and teenagers' lives: whether it's social networks, online research for school on the "www," or the use of video portals like YouTube. Besides the many positive opportunities that serve knowledge acquisition, communication, and entertainment, the internet also offers a multitude of freely accessible resources whose content is seriously harmful to minors or even criminally relevant.

However, controlling the internet using traditional media regulatory instruments is only possible to a limited extent. For this reason, responsible use of this medium is considerably more important compared to traditional mass media. The Bremen Media Authority (Brema) is taking a crucial step in this direction with its "Safe Internet for Children and Young People" initiative.

This training course informs educators and parent representatives about how the internet works, its potential risks for children and young people, and the possibilities and limitations of preventative online youth media protection. Strategies for addressing these risks are also discussed.

The events are organized by the ServiceBureau Jugendinformation on behalf of Brema and are free of charge for schools, youth work institutions and parent representatives.

Depending on the participants' prior knowledge and needs, the training course is offered with different focuses. Please use the telephone consultation service for this purpose.

For current dates, please call 0421-33008919 or email medien@jugendinfo.de

If needed, the parents' evenings can also be held online.
