The basic idea: A cooperation project

The basic idea Open all-day with a socio-pedagogical focus at the Hundertwasser School as a cooperation project between school and youth welfare services

The open all-day programme with a socio-educational focus at the Hundertwasser School is a cooperation project between the school and youth welfare services. The partners in this cooperation project are the Hundertwasser School with its school sponsor, the District of Gütersloh, the provider of the open all-day programme - the SPI Gütersloh - as well as the Department of Family and Social Affairs of the City of Gütersloh as the responsible youth welfare provider for the pupils of the Hundertwasser School, who all come from the catchment area of the City of Gütersloh.

Originally designed as a model project for 3 years, this cooperation project between school and youth welfare has now been running successfully for more than 10 years for the pupils of the Hundertwasser School and their families. 

  • All pupils at the Hundertwasser School need a structured daily routine
  • The families of the students at the Hundertwasser School need professional support that goes far beyond school counselling.
  • A high percentage of the students at the Hundertwasser School are recipients of youth welfare benefits.
  • Open all-day offers the possibility of a multi-professional setting for pupils with special educational needs in the area of their emotional and social development.
  • In this multi-professional setting, it is also possible to care for children with additional support needs on site.
  • This may result in potential savings in the area of youth welfare services.
  • a socio-educational focus
  • Special framework conditions with regard to spatial, material and personnel equipment
  • The Youth Welfare Service/the Department of Family and Social Affairs as a partner
  • a measure provider with special competence: in this case the SPI (Social Pedagogical Institute) Gütersloh

In order for the Open All-day at the Hundertwasser School to be designed as an all-day with a socio-educational focus, the two cooperation partners - school and youth welfare - must combine their respective capabilities.

  • Financed by federal, state and municipal funds from the district of Gütersloh.
  • Special spatial conditions
  •  2 partners on one site: Hundertwasser School and SPI
  • Financing through funds from the area of outpatient educational assistance.
  • Impact agreement between the Family and Social Affairs Department of the City of Gütersloh and the SPI.
  •  
  • In the overall pedagogical concept, lessons, special support offers, shared lunch, cultural and leisure activities, homework supervision and cooperation with parents are coordinated and complement each other.
  • The socio-pedagogical focus with further learning support, socio-pedagogically accompanied leisure activities, remedial education and joint, intensive work with parents enables pupils with special support needs in the area of their emotional and social development to participate in the open all-day school. 
  • In addition, the pupils of the Hundertwasser School receive all outpatient educational support in the context of their families, which they would otherwise have applied for at the Department of Family and Social Affairs of the City of Gütersloh, through the measure provider of our Open All-Day - the SPI Gütersloh.
