Alle kommen mit! (Everyone comes along!)
The a&o educare support fund for disadvantaged parents and families – for more participation, including on school trips!

With the project “Alle kommen mit” (Everyone comes along), a&o educare e. V. is committed to ensuring that financial constraints do not decide who gets to take part. Our support fund enables children and young people from low-income or socially disadvantaged families to take part in trips – quickly, specifically and without red tape. No child or young person should have to stay at home for financial reasons!

The fund, which is financed entirely by donations, is aimed at families facing acute or long-term hardship and is intended to provide concrete help where regular funding (e.g. from the BuT – Education and Participation Package) is insufficient or comes too late.
The fund is, of course, open to everyone – regardless of origin, religion or residence status.

Solidarity-based financing of school trips
The new "everyonecantravel" web app for smartly organising solidarity-based financing of school trips!

With this pioneering project, a&o is setting standards in terms of participation – and for something that matters so much in every school career: the school trip!

Financing the school trip through solidarity and community – that’s new!
The parents / legal guardians who finance a school trip are usually a very diverse group. Families with very high incomes or assets sit alongside employees or workers. But almost always there are also parents on very low incomes or with financial problems, and of course often recipients of state benefits (citizen’s income).

And yet every pupil should be able to take part in a successful, well-organised, high-quality school trip! The solution: solidarity-based, community-funded financing! Those who can and want to pay a little more, those who cannot pay a little less. The main thing is that, in the end, the trip is funded for everyone. More information at www.everyonecantravel.app
