"Language education and school integration of refugee pupils - implications for the municipal educational landscape"
Speaker: Dr. Simone Plöger (junior professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz)
Education opens doors - especially for children and young people who arrive in a new language and culture. But how can schools become places where integration really succeeds? And what responsibility do cities and local authorities have in this regard?
As part of the lecture series "Education creates the future", the Wiesbaden Education Office will be presenting key findings from the new education report "Integration through education".
Educational scientist Dr. Simone Plöger (junior professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) will then shed light on how schools can support refugee children and young people in language acquisition and thus enable participation. She shows which concepts work - and which tasks arise from this for the municipal educational landscape.
