The Institut für Lehrerfort- und -weiterbildung (ILF) in Mainz is a renowned educational training institute that has been active in Rheinland-Pfalz since 1970. The ILF is supported by the (Arch)Dioceses of Köln, Limburg, Mainz, Speyer and Trier, which reflects its Christian roots[1][3].
The mission of the ILF is to strengthen the professional and personal skills of educators in order to support the guidance of the educational paths of children and young people[1]. The work is based on Christian values and an anthropological, learning and developmental psychological basis[1].
The ILF attaches great importance to sustainability and transferability in education. Through forms of self-directed learning, advice and continuous evaluation, the offer is constantly being developed to meet the needs of practice[1]. The events take place in various conference centers throughout Rheinland-Pfalz to ensure regional proximity to the participants[4].
The ILF in Mainz is divided into a school and social pedagogical department, which enables comprehensive support in both areas[5]. Through its many years of experience and close cooperation with the supporting dioceses, the ILF is an important partner for educational institutions in the region.
