Module content:
 
“Balu und Du” supports children who, for various reasons, need extra care and attention. Each ‘Mogli’ (the primary school child in question) is assigned a “Balu” (a young adult volunteer, usually a student). Both meet regularly for a few hours each week over the course of a year to learn from each other and to promote and reflect on the childrens’ development. The seminar is designed to provide participants with an opportunity to reflect on the experiences they have gained during the program from a social science perspective. The accompanying events in seminar form are educational in nature and introduce participants to the casuistic method of systematic case processing. The “Balus” write a weekly journal. In it, they reflect on the progress of the relationship and the tasks. These reports enable self-reflection and scientific monitoring. Participants contribute to the seminar by writing their journal entries and actively collaborating on the implementation of the project (on a case-by-case basis).
