Elterntalk Baden-Würt­tem­berg

Elterntalk – A Meet­ing Space for Par­ents to Talk About Fam­i­ly Life and Media

What is Elterntalk?

Elterntalk is a place where moth­ers and fathers can meet in a relaxed set­ting to talk about every­day fam­i­ly life, media use, smart­phone and inter­net expe­ri­ences, dig­i­tal games, and oth­er par­ent­ing top­ics. The meet­ings are mod­er­at­ed by trained par­ents, are free of charge, and can be held in dif­fer­ent lan­guages if required. The meet­ings take place in a pri­vate, per­son­al setting—for exam­ple, at par­ents’ homes or at famil­iar loca­tions in the neighborhood.

Elterntalk is part of a state-wide project run by Aktion Jugend­schutz Lan­desar­beitsstelle Baden-Würt­tem­berg e. V. (ajs). It is fund­ed by the Kinder­land Baden-Würt­tem­berg Foun­da­tion and state funds approved by the Baden-Würt­tem­berg state parliament.

In Karl­sruhe, the city is one of the first project loca­tions in the state with its Chil­dren’s Office in the area of child and youth protection.
