The Fortschritt GmbH

The Fortschritt GmbH's activity focuses primarly on the education of infants, children and young adults with special needs. They also put an emphasis on their integrated education in order to educate future members of society who are active and tolerant towards people living with disabilities. In order to achieve this goal they consider vital both to create non formal learning environments for children and young adults, and to organise special trainings for the staff working with disabled  persons. The organisation has wide international network and has participated in several international inclusion mobilitiy projects. Within the project they intend to share their practice-oriented experiences and to get acquainted with best practices of other organisations with the same profile. The GmbH operates integrated nurseries, kindergartens, day care centers for school children and are closely cooperating with professional organisations. They are affiliated to vocational training institutes and provide practical work experience and on site practical training for their students as well as for voluntaries. Their pedagogical concept is based on conductive education, and thus they were the first organisation in Germany to let this Hungarian method known among professionals. They are particulary interested in to learn and to share new practices and to develop their pedagogical repertoar and  to enrich  their professional knowledge in an international context.
