A preventive low-threshold parent education offer in the area of the educational child and youth protection.

ELTERNTALK initiates parent discussions on the topics of media, consumption, healthy growing up and education. A host invites other parents to his or her home for a thematic, approximately two-hour ELTERNTALK. The discussion is accompanied by a trained moderator, who is a parent himself/herself, and deals with current parenting topics: "What to do, TV and PC games are a constant point of contention in our house...?", "What should I be aware of when dealing with the Internet?", "At what age does it make sense for my child to have a cell phone?", "What is important to me in parenting?".

The focus of ELTERNTALK is the dialogical exchange of experiences between parents, who are the experts of their own knowledge. The accompanied exchange of experiences strengthens the parents in their everyday upbringing and their communication networks and promotes social life in the respective living environments.

ELTERNTALK is aimed at all parents with children up to 14 years of age, especially parents with an intercultural background as well as parents in special and/or stressful situations. If necessary, the discussion rounds are offered in the mother tongue, and participation is free of charge.

ELTERNTALK offers are available in Bavaria in all administrative districts in more than 40 regions.

Television, the Internet and cell phones are daily companions for children and young people. More and more parents are observing an increase in their children's media consumption and are asking themselves how they can accompany their children and young people in this area.

The media course "Ways through the media jungle - accompanying children and young people safely in the media world" addresses this question. Over the course of four evenings, parents and educators will gain insights into the opportunities and challenges of television, the Internet, computer games and cell phones, and will receive helpful tips on what rules and limits make sense in media education. The course participants have the opportunity to become aware of their own educational ideas in dealing with various media, to strengthen communication on the topic of new media in the family and to obtain professional information on age-appropriate media use. The aim of the course is to strengthen parents in their media education so that they can prepare their children for responsible media use.

The course is aimed at all parents with children or young people.

App gezockt - our media education workshop for parents
Mobile phone games such as Candy Crush Saga, Quizduell and Angry Birds are particularly popular with children and young people, and they spend a lot of their free time playing them. Most games are "free-to-play," which means they are free - at least at first glance. However, conflicts often arise in the family: too much, too expensive, too scary! Our workshop explains the possible risks of apps and provides an insight into the gaming world of children and young people. Together, we will try out and evaluate different game apps. Experience for yourself why these games are so much fun and find suitable gaming alternatives for your children. The event is free of charge and can take place with a minimum of 10 participants.

Media educational parent evenings

What and how long is my child allowed to watch television? When is my child allowed or supposed to use the computer? Does media content make children aggressive?

The effects of media use on children and the importance of media for child development are topics that parents are concerned about. At parent evenings and parent seminars, we get to the bottom of these questions together. Here you have the opportunity to exchange ideas with other parents, to give and receive support, to expand your own media skills and to activate or deepen a conscious media education. The parents' evenings usually last 2 hours. In Bremen, the Bremische Landesmedienanstalt (bre(ma) takes over the base financing of the information evenings, so that the cost contribution for the daycare center is 20 euros per event. Blickwechsel also offers other forms of parent work such as parent-child weekends or parent seminars lasting several days.

Often on medium-educational parents evenings the desire for an appropriate, medium-competent training of the children and young people is voiced. The "PIF! - Projekttag für Internetfrischlinge" (Project Day for Internet Refreshers) is an offer that supports parents in their commitment to making their children fit to deal with the Internet. Our PIF! - Workshop is held at schools in Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein for 3rd-4th graders. Depending on age and media usage habits, we work with students and their teachers to develop basic skills for competent use of the Internet. In the process, students receive great tips on the use of search engines, children's chats, data protection and the phenomenon of cyber bullying. They also learn how to evaluate information and websites and how to handle personal data about themselves and others with care. They also practice and reflect on how to treat each other respectfully when chatting and using social networks. The "PIF! - Project Day for Internet Refreshers" is sponsored by the Medienanstalt Hamburg / Schleswig-Holstein and conducted by two Blickwechsel e.V. instructors.

Blickwechsel e.V. offers the five-hour, media-pedagogical workshop "Sicher vernetzt!" for 5th to 12th graders from Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein, financed entirely by the schools themselves. The workshop focuses on possible applications, opportunities and potential dangers of communication platforms on the Internet. The topics include social networks, the handling of personal data, the use of personal data (Big Data), rights on the Internet and cyberbullying. This workshop does not involve working on computers, but rather reflecting on experiences that young people have already had on the Internet by means of films and their discussion, as well as in (role) play and small groups.

The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (HmbBfDI) advises Hamburg residents on all data protection issues, supports them in exercising their rights to access information, and helps them enforce their rights. Another task of the HmbBfDI is to educate the public about data protection issues - with a special focus on children and young people.

Through workshops, training courses and information events geared to specific target groups, the HmbBfDI aims to raise awareness among children, young people and their parents/guardians of the need to handle personal data in a data-protection-conscious manner and to educate them about important and current issues of data protection and data security.

The website of the HmbBfDI provides relevant information material on these topics. In addition, schools and (educational) institutions can request workshops (e.g., in the form of a parents' evening) on the topic of data protection competence from the HmbBfDI.

Parent-media guides
What do children do on the Internet? What content do they share on their cell phones? How dangerous are the games they have on their computers? Many parents are at a loss when faced with the new media, with all their dangers and possibilities. Parent media guides help to close these gaps in knowledge. They provide advice at parents' evenings or in consultation hours at schools and guide adults through the virtual jungle.

TIDE trains educators as parent media guides and places them in schools: The graduates of the course conduct media-pedagogical parent evenings there. They give lectures on demand and can organize parent meetings or information events on topics such as games, cell phones or the Internet with beamers, notebooks and information sheets.

When it comes to media education work in Hesse, there is no getting around the LPR Hessen, as an established institution. Over the years, LPR Hessen has built up a diverse range of media education projects for children and young people. However, in order to convey media competence comprehensively and in a trend-setting manner, it quickly became clear to LPR Hessen that the educational professionals from daycare centers and schools, as well as parents, have an important role to play. For this reason, all of LPR Hessen's media projects - with a view to sustainability - also include offerings or content for this adult target group.

LPR Hessen offers the following parent/family programs

Media evenings for parents in daycare centers and schools in Hessen:

The parents' evening is an action-oriented information offer for legal guardians and pedagogical experts. Possible topics include media use in early childhood, television, computer (games), Internet, cell phones, and general information about media education. The parents' evenings provide important information and clarify questions about media use and the effects of media on children.

Projects in daycare centers

Projects at elementary schools

Media education action day - hands-on day for children and their parents:

It is important that parents get to know their children's media worlds and are able to weigh up the risks and opportunities of the new electronic media: The concept of the "media-pedagogical action days" aims to bring parents and children together so that they can jointly deal with the media worlds in which they move.

Media are fundamentally changing communication at school, at work and in our free time. Facebook, WhatsApp, Skype... offer adolescents a new space in which they can exchange ideas, just like in the schoolyard or in their free time. Here they find new contacts, maintain their friendships or organize dates.

The various network operators offer their members a wide range of functions for this purpose, in particular to enable the uncomplicated and simple exchange of information with messages, photos or videos.  Everything is connected to the smartphone. These options have become a matter of course for children and young people. In addition to an  insight into the media world of children and young people, it is also about action strategies in the family, school or youth facilities.

In Lower Saxony, 166 parent media trainers have been trained and certified by the State Agency for Youth Protection in Lower Saxony to support mothers and fathers in media education in parenting courses. The parent media trainers provide information on the various media contents (television, Internet, computer games and smartphones), their significance for children and young people and the possible effects on boys and girls. They are just as familiar with the legal foundations and institutions for the protection of young people from harmful media as they are with the latest studies on effects research and approaches to media education.

Parents' evenings on media education

What and how long is my child allowed to watch television? When is my child allowed or supposed to use the computer? Does media content make children aggressive?
The effects of media use on children and the importance of media for child development are topics that parents are concerned about. At parent evenings and parent seminars, we get to the bottom of these questions together. Here you have the opportunity to exchange ideas with other parents, to give and receive support, to expand your own media skills and to activate or deepen a conscious media education. The parents' evenings usually last 2 hours. Blickwechsel also offers other forms of parent work, such as parent-child weekends or parent seminars lasting several days.

Elterntalk NRW - these are discussion groups for mothers and fathers on parenting issues. A host invites up to eight other parents to his or her home. A moderator, who is himself or herself a parent, accompanies the talk. Parents' Talk is not a lecture - it is an exchange. Parents are experts in their own right, they bring their own experiences and knowledge with them.

To bring Elterntalk NRW to the regions, AJS works with local partners. These can be, for example, the youth welfare office, a welfare association, a family education center or independent organizations.

The project in NRW is coordinated by AJS. The Parents' Talk team develops methods for starting talks on the respective topics and offers training and specialist events for the partners.

Parents Media Youth Protection / Specialist for Parents Media Education
The core of the program is a six-day training course that qualifies multipliers to design and conduct media education events for parents in schools, kindergartens, family centers and other educational institutions. After completion of the measure, the participants are supported, informed and further qualified by the state-wide network Eltern-Medien-Jugendschutz. Upon request, AJS NRW will be happy to assist in finding instructors in the field of media education for parents.
