The aim is to apply the research based KvDaZ concept in the central accommodation facilities in NRW.

In order to achieve this, the concept will be adapted in line with the general conditions of the school-based educational program.

Central developments are:

1. Cologne Box: In accordance with the didactical three steps of the KvDaZ concept, 12 topics are prepared, each with 5 communication occasions. The selection of topics is based on the everyday life and interests of the children and young people. Based on the occasions for communication, suggestions are made for possible activities with a focus on practical orientation and literacy in heterogeneous groups. In addition to focusing on the oral skills of the children and young people, the activities are particularly geared to promoting the acquisition of written language.
2. Training: The teachers assigned to the central accommodation facility attend a 5-day advanced training course. In this training, the teachers learn how to implement the communicative approach to systematic language development in the sense of KvDaZ in combination with the KvDaZ card index. They also learn how to implement an everyday literacy practice for all children and young people.
