| “Fair from the start” is directed at girls and boys in preschool facilities, primary schools and schools for children with special needs. In the Wessling primary school two periods a week are dedicated to the topics “social learning” and “self-assertion”. With age-appropriate games, exercises, working material and just by talking to one another, the teacher and an external social education worker show the children how they can stave off conflicts and violence. Information seminars also involve the parents before the “Fair from the start” course begins and once it’s completed. The course is designed in such a way that the teachers and parents themselves can effectively continue with what has been dealt with in the course. |

With the course “Fair from the start” the children are shown how they can protect themselves against violence and sexual abuse. The aim is also to build up communication between the children, their parents and teachers, to improve everyday school life and help the children with this target in mind. In 2009 the Auerbach Foundation will make it possible for other classes to participate in such a course.
The most important targets of the “Fair from the start” project are:
- Support for the children
Awareness and expression of their own feelings, needs and interests, setting and respecting limits. - Support for the parents
Involvement in and information on the learning targets and the work with the children, real help and motivation in their socialisation responsibilities. - Support for the teachers
Qualified assistance and help. Cooperation with specialists and institutions.
