In addition to language and knowledge, children also need social and emotional skills to face their daily lives with confidence and security. They learn to perceive and express emotions, resolve conflicts, show consideration, and overcome challenges. These abilities form an essential foundation for their further educational path and healthy development.
With the scientifically-based prevention program Papilio, the Oberberg district, in collaboration with the educational network through the educational office, together with BARMER and other cooperation partners, focuses on the early and sustainable promotion of these competencies. The program starts early, strengthens children's personalities, and supports professionals in specifically fostering developmental processes in everyday life. This creates a solid foundation for a successful educational path and a strong community – from the very beginning.
The goal is to accompany children in their social-emotional development from the start and to support daycare facilities in promoting a healthy and appreciative community.
Educational professionals are trained in a practical manner by specially qualified Papilio trainers and are supported in implementing the program in their daily pedagogical routines. The program can be sustainably integrated into the daycare routine and strengthens children in their emotional and social development. At the same time, it supports collaboration with families and facilitates the pedagogical everyday life through concrete action concepts.
Goal of the Format
The prevention program Papilio strengthens the social-emotional development of children and supports educational professionals in specifically accompanying children in their personal development. The long-term aim is to provide all children in the Oberberg district with comparable opportunities for a successful educational and life path.
