"The project was conceived in view of the fact that the importance of relationships with and to other people is increasingly being scientifically proven for our happiness, well-being and a functioning community. The importance of positive relationships for successful learning processes is becoming increasingly apparent in the field of education.However, in the field of education, there are no specific approaches to how relationship work can be established in the work between teachers and learners. Based on the psychological context, processes, methods and approaches are known in order to shape successful relationships or to restore disturbed relationships. But to what extent these insights can be integrated into the concrete educational work is left to the individual teacher. In addition, ""relationship work"" is always perceived as deficient and usually begins when the conflict has occurred. Relationship work, however, is regarded by the project partners in the sense of salutogenesis as a ubiquitous positive and not least also preventive competence, which should be used on a daily basis.The project will thus help the ""educators of the future"" to discover and unfold their relationship skills and bring them profitably into the everyday life of the educational context.The project is being carried out by four partners from the EU Member States Netherlands, Austria and Germany. From the Netherlands comes the association Teach the Future, which develops innovative educational approaches and integrates them into everyday school life through intensive cooperation with schools. From Austria, the project will involve the University of Graz-Styria Regional Center of Competence (RCE), which has extensive experience in creating different educational materials and establishing them in the educational context. The two German project partners are associations coming from Berlin and Brandenburg. The association Here & Now is closely involved in scientific communities and wants to make scientific findings in the fields of psychology, pedagogy, anthropology and behavioral biology more usable for the community. The second German association HochVier is the applicant organization. HochVier stands for intensive work with many different actors on different levels, for innovative methods in the extracurricular and school sectors and for various projects in the regional, national and EU-wide area.In the course of the project different stages will be passed, in which several intellectual outputs will be created and different multiplier events will be carried out. The project partners make use of a range of methods, which ranges from research activities through self-directed and collaborative learning, to creative and design elements..The project will achieve five specific results. At the end of the project there will be a study, a practical guideline and a curriculum for effective relationship work in education, which explaining the most important basics and interdependencies and containing dedicated modules for different educational contexts. In addition to specific instructions for action, these modules will also contain methodological suggestions and further information on the Integration of relationship work into everyday education.At the end of the project various factsheets as well as a curriculum for effective relationship work in the education area will be available, which will explain the most important basics and interdependencies and contain decidedly practical modules for different educational contexts. Another very concrete result will be a ‘Relationship KIT’, with which actors can approach the topic in a playful way. In this sense, the relationship KIT serves as a low-threshold access and enables ""offline"" group work on various levels.In the framework of the Multiplier Events, an international symposium will be held in order to familiarize key multipliers in the EU with the topic of ""relationship work in the educational context"" as well as the educational materials created. The symposium is designed to be held as an annual event.In our view, the sustainability potential of this project is enormous, as this topic starts to become more meaningful. We are at the beginning of a ""wave"" which will have made the topic virulent in a few years. This project can thus help to raise awareness of this important topic in the educational context and can offer valuable and useful educational materials to interested people.Other longer-term benefits are that we, as democratic societies, benefit from being able to strengthen the basic character of our democratic way of life, not only in the context of education, but above all because this can be an initial learning space. Because a positive culture of relationship supports, strengthens and automatically promotes social cohesion and democratic core competencies such as perspective taking and the tolerant and respectful discussion and decision-making ability in and for the group."
