The Center for School and Career (zsb), operated by the German Red Cross (DRK) Bremen District Association, has been working for many years at the intersection of youth services, schools, and the world of work. It implements project-funded programs in the areas of counseling, education, integration, and participation, cooperating closely with governmental and civil society actors. The aim of its work is to promote social participation, strengthen educational pathways, and support people in accessing training, employment, and the labor market.
The project "Team Family – Competent Parents, Strong Children" is a new initiative scheduled to launch in August and will be implemented decentrally in various neighborhoods. It supports third-country national parents with integration and social participation through outreach counseling, accessible workshops, and supplementary services. The measures are practically oriented and support families in their interactions with daycare centers, schools, government agencies, and the healthcare system. Language learning programs are offered by partner organizations and supplemented by childcare to enable participation for parents with childcare responsibilities. The goal is to sustainably strengthen the families' independence, skills, and opportunities for participation.
