Reatreat for mothers and children in Schoenau 2008

Seminars

• Since 1999, LVE has been introduced through information seminars in many cities throughout Germany. Educator seminars and trainings began in July 1999. Since then, once or twice a year 3- to 5-day LVE Educator Trainings were offered either especially for educators or educators and parents together.
• For parents with children or specially mothers with their children 1-day seminars (in Neuruppin) or 3-days retreats (in Berlin) took place.
• In Muellheim/Freiburg since many years a LVE course for parents is offered which is organised by a parents-child-initiative.
• Since 2007, the LVE team, coming from different parts of Germany, offered weekend seminars (one weekend with a follow up weekend to claim the LVE certificate) in Berlin, to be more flexible because of the different holiday times in German countries.

Experiences

• In a secondary school in Bremen since many years, pupils (age 16/17) participate with values-based projects in an annual youth price named: “No chance for hatred” – this year subtitled: “Different – so what?” This year the class won a price with their self-produced 15-minute video with scenes and self-created songs of  outcast and mobbing experiences of youth. One bodily handicapped pupil contributed his own experience of being ignored by his classmates in his former school. In the play the scene was changed, so that this time he was mastering the situation with self respect telling the others: “( I am) different – so what?” One of the songs in the play was composed and sung as a friendship song for him, which touched him, because he felt respected, valued and his feelings being understood and expressed.  The group decided to donate the whole amount of money they had won for a children-welfare project.
• A further project in another school can be looked at in the school home-page: (www.ruebekamp.de ).
