The Bundesverband Leseförderung e.V. is a central organization that advocates for the promotion of reading competence and literary education in the German-speaking area.
The main mission of the Bundesverband Leseförderung e.V. is to support children and young people in developing their reading competence so that they can understand and shape the world. The association is convinced that reading is a fundamental skill that enables individuals to ask questions and bring about change. The values of the association include promoting written and visual language, supporting active participation in social life, and ensuring high-quality education[1].
The Bundesverband Leseförderung e.V. is committed to sustainable and professional reading promotion. This includes creating a financially solid foundation and fair compensation for professionals working in reading promotion. The association is involved in various initiatives, such as organizing conferences, collaborating with other organizations, and promoting literature educational projects. An example of this is participation in projects that support refugee children in their first contact with the German language, or the "Bücher-Buddy" project, which encourages young people to read with younger children[1][4].
The association offers membership for individuals, clubs, public institutions, and companies. Members benefit from a regular newsletter, access to an internal knowledge database, and the opportunity to participate in further education and training programs[3].
Through its comprehensive activities and initiatives, the Bundesverband Leseförderung e.V. significantly contributes to the promotion of reading culture and the improvement of educational opportunities for children and young people.
