Bremen starts innovative educational program for social responsibility!

Bremen, Deutschland - Today is an exciting day for the educational landscape in Bremen! On June 10, 2025, the cooperation agreement for the new educational program "Learning through Engagement" (LDE) was signed. This innovative program starts in the school year 2025/26 and aims to link school learning with social engagement. It should not only support the learners in their professional development, but also strengthen their social and democratic skills. The senator for children and education, Patricia Brandt, is enthusiastic about this step into a more active and responsible future for the Bremen students: inside.

How does the whole thing work? 6 to 8 Bremen high schools should take part in the pilot phase. The pupils are introduced to democracy and social commitment through projects in regular lessons. Whether climate protection, voluntary support for younger children or creative reconnaissance campaigns - the possibilities are diverse. The aim is that the learners have practical experiences that they can link directly to their school learning. A action -oriented and practical training is promoted, which goes far beyond the classic teaching content. Senatspressorstelle reports that the projects will take place under the guidance of teachers who regularly reflect on their commitment.

a strong network for commitment

To implement the program effectively, the State Institute for School (LIS) and the volunteer agency Bremen work closely together. They are also supported by the Nordmetall Foundation and the Barthel Foundation. This creative covenant is intended to ensure that the projects not only achieve many students: also create long -term positive effects for social engagement. There are already plans to include other schools in the program in the school year 2027/28 in order to expand the reach and influence, as Das LIS emphasizes.

The mediation of democratic values ​​plays a central role in today's education. Especially in times when social divisions increase, it is more important than ever that children and young people acquire democratic skills. The approaches to the formation of democracy, which will also be used in schools, include materials on topics such as racism, anti -Semitism and participation. The idea behind it is clear: the promotion of knowledge and skills for active participation in society is essential to ensure lively democracy. The Education Server provides a variety of resources that can support teachers: inside with implementation.

Overall, the program “Learning through commitment” promises an exciting and educational approach to not only prepare the students: not only to prepare for the school requirements, but also to form them as active members of society. So you get into practice with a lot of commitment and a good hand. The first successes of the program can certainly be celebrated soon - there is something to grow!
