editAbout Us
editThe Arbeitskreis Orientierungs- und Bildungshilfe (AOB) e.V. was founded in 1977 by a group of students from the Pedagogical University in Berlin. Since its inception, the AOB has developed into an important institution for the promotion of reading and writing skills.
Key Products and Services
editThe AOB offers specialized reading and writing courses designed for both individuals who are learning these skills anew and those who wish to improve their existing abilities. The courses take place at various times of the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and are conducted twice or three times a week for 90 minutes. A particular strength of the AOB lies in the small group sizes, which allow the instructors to address the individual needs of each person and provide suitable tasks[1].
Main Mission and Values
editThe main mission of the AOB is to create a stress-free and supportive learning environment where there are no exams and every learner has enough time and peace to learn. The focus is on individual support and the understanding that each learner has their own learning stories and needs. The AOB is committed to ensuring that learning is a positive and encouraging experience that strengthens the confidence and skills of the participants[1].
Sustainability Goals and Initiatives
editAlthough specific sustainability goals are not mentioned on the website, the AOB focuses on the long-term and sustainable promotion of reading and writing skills. Through individual support and the adaptation of courses to the needs of the participants, the AOB helps ensure that the acquired skills are lasting and support participants in their daily and professional lives. This approach promotes the personal and social integration of participants and helps them improve their quality of life[1][3].
Additional Information
editThe AOB is committed to literacy and supporting adults who struggle with reading and writing difficulties. In Germany, where about 4% of adults are considered functionally illiterate, the AOB plays an important role in combating illiteracy and promoting education and integration[5].
Through its work, the AOB makes an important contribution to society by helping people overcome their educational deficits and improve their chances in the job market and social life. The AOB remains a central pillar in the educational landscape of Berlin and beyond.
