Introducing the Charity

SchlaU provides young unaccompanied refugees aged 16-20 with an opportunity for a school education adapted to their special needs, e.g. foreign language and culture, traumatic experiences, no family support.

The aim of the project is that students graduate from school with a German school diploma and start an apprenticeship in a non-subsidised business environment.

SchlaU has developed a set of teaching tools and pedagogical interventaion that allow it to graduate students - some of whom have never attended school before - within a period of one to three years.

Of the 103 students that have graduated from SchlaU since its opening in 04/05, some 96% graduated with a school diploma. Of these, over 60% have either completed an apprenticeship programme or working towards an additional school diploma.
