LaKo

The State-wide Coordination Offices (LaKo) advise and support the Local Integration Centres in NRW (KI) in their individual establishment and further development processes on site.

It provides qualification and further training measures and organises cooperation with specialised science as well as cooperation and networking with relevant actors in education and integration work at the state level. The LaKo acts as a link between the KI and the state government.

The fields of action are oriented along the biography-accompanying education chain and understand integration as a cross-sectional task.

The programmes Griffbereit and Rucksack KiTa of the Municipal Integration Centres in North Rhine-Westphalia (KI) are successfully implemented in NRW and nationwide and are supported by the State-wide Coordination Offices (LaKo).[1] coordinated.
