2018

In the early summer of 2018, the coordination of 'Living Values ​​– Education Germany' was officially handed over to Lebenwerte Gesellschaft e. V.

We were able to train five trainers in 2018. The Evangelisches Bildungswerk Regensburg became a cooperation partner and made its rooms available to us free of charge.

Following that, we presented an introductory evening on September 29, followed by a series of courses.

 

Introductory evening: Values ​​live in upbringing and education

An invitation to present a project 'Living Values' – value-oriented educational work

Saturday September 29, 2018 at 6:30pm Evangelical Education Center Regensburg Am Ölberg 2, Bonhoeffer Hall

Every day, children, young people, as well as parents and educators, are increasingly confronted with social problems, bullying, violence, etc. and a lack of respect for each other and their environment.

By learning certain values, violence and bullying could be reduced and a safe social school and learning climate could be created.

We invite all educators, therapists, educators and parents to the presentation of the 'Living Values' project, which has been successfully implemented worldwide for twenty years.

Topics include:

• How can we support children and young people to integrate values ​​such as joy, respect and compassion into their lives and everyday school life?
• How can we create an empathetic, respectful environment in which adolescents feel safe and enjoy learning?
• What influence do educators have on the sense of values ​​and value development of their protégés and what practical methods are there to bring them closer to the community?
• What methods do I use as a parent to convey the benefits of value-oriented behavior?
• Relaxed teachers - relaxed children - how can this goal be achieved?

This project presentation was followed by training to become a LV trainer. Practice evenings were also offered.

Living Values seminar 9-10 June 2018.

2009

Living Values Education (LVE) started in Germany in 1997. Since then, a group of teachers and educators throughout Germany has organized the LVE activities together.

 

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.
  
  

 

 

Introductions and Presentations

• LVE was represented and presented in different places on fairs (e.i. Jugendhilfetag in Osnabrueck 2004) , round-tables (i.e. in Berlin) and congresses ("mindfulness" at the university Witten/Herdecke, organised by German Transpersonal Psychology 2006. In the publication of the congress: Psychology of consciousness (Vol.6, LIT Verlag Muenster 2007) LVE is represented with an article about "mindfulness and education: Living Values".
  
  
• In May 2009 LVE was invited to take part in the world-dome-initiative in Regensburg (www.weltendom.de) titled: "Values in change".
  
  

Association

• Since 2006, LVE is registered as charitable organisation, member of ALIVE, named: Living Values - Werte leben in Erziehung und Bildung Deutschland (LVD).

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.
