Conversion Rucksack KiTa

The implementation of Rucksack KiTa has been managed and supported in NRW by the Statewide Coordination Office (LaKo) since 2013.

Since 2017, the LaKo also the nationwide transfer, which is supported by the Auridis Stiftung gGmbH. In the meantime, there are already more than 750 Rucksack KiTa-Groups. The programme is also being successfully implemented in other European countries.

Framework conditions
If there is not yet a Land coordination office in the Land or a local coordination office, interested providers (programme providers) conclude a cooperation agreement with the LaKo NRW. Afterwards they receive the Rucksack KiTa-Material package free of charge as a PDF file.

Through the agreement, all programme providers undertake to comply with the quality standards of the programme and to ensure these at all levels. The local provider finances the implementation of the programme as well as the training, fees and guidance of the parent guides.

The federal transfer team based at the ZfTI coordinates and/or accompanies the programme nationwide, also in cooperation with other offices and agencies, and offers information events and training. The federal transfer team is also responsible for continuous professional support. The aim is to establish Land coordination offices in each Land in which the programme is applied in order to ensure targeted support for the work on the ground.
