Since May 2010 we have been working in the Family Floor in the House of Generations and offer a space for counselling, encounters and care. Our main focuses are: Family sponsorships, language and learning promotion as well as health promotion.
Your contact persons are trained pedagogues, social workers and health promotion specialists with many years of professional experience. The team includes the school social workers of the primary school August Hermann Francke, the employees of the youth club Treff im Quartier, the coordinators of the sports club SV Francke 08 and the child protection specialist of the Francke Foundations.
Our team is complemented by volunteers who are regularly trained and accompanied in their work by us. They support us in these areas: Family sponsorships, visiting service, newborn greetings, language and learning promotion as well as the offers of the sports club.
The Family Competence Centre for Education and Health is a recognised institution for family work/family education in the city of Halle (Saale) and represents the Francke Foundations in the Local Child Protection Network Halle. The institution supports the federal initiative "Frühe Hilfen" with preventive offers for families. The Family Competence Centre is supported by members of the Circle of Friends of the Francke Foundations.
On our Stichelsdorf estate, the Halle Children's farm offers city children and interested parties from young to old a special space for environmental education, experiential education and animal-assisted therapy. In various programmes, children and young people can garden, grow fruit and vegetables and process them seasonally together, care for animals or enjoy nature in a sporty and playful way. The tenant René Zimmermann manages the greenhouses using organic farming methods and offers the naturally grown vegetables for sale.
With the Treff im Quartier (TiQ) we have created a space for the special needs of young people. Have a look!
Help in everyday life
Family sponsorships for a good start for young families and single parents with children in everyday life from 0-3 years:
Our sponsors support you in everyday life!
Within the framework of a family sponsorship, these accompany your family for up to one year in individual agreement.
This gives you time to romp with your sibling, plan a doctor's visit or take care of official business in peace.
for pregnant women + parents + children
Please see the overview and description of the groups & courses under Downloads.
consultation
On requirement basis, we offer every family an expert initial consultation in their current situation. We arrange concrete offers or recommend custom-fit contacts.
Individual support for pupils
In close cooperation with committed volunteers, we offer your child help with learning if the teachers have recognised the need for support and you are entitled to the educational package. We will be happy to assist you with your application. The dates for the learning support can be arranged individually.
Advice and mediation
Volunteers inspire children to read with reading sessions in daycare centers and after-school care centers. Fascinating book worlds and exciting stories are discovered together, where children can enjoy reading, learn new things and be inspired by the imagination.
We are looking for committed people who have time once a week in the mornings and are not disturbed by lively children.
