Social Space Orientation

The professional concept of social space orientation involves various network partners (e. g., Kitas, schools, counseling centers, medical and therapeutic practices, or educational institutions) collaborating with residents to shape the living environments of people within a specific social space (e. g., a village, city district, or neighborhood). The goal is to establish conditions that empower residents to act independently and self-reliantly, even in challenging life situations. A central aspect of this approach is the provision of needs-oriented services and support structures, achieved through joint activities and cooperation among the network partners.

Talented and gifted children and adolescents can also benefit from these services and support arrangements. Networking within the social space can enhance their individualized support and provide easier access to counseling services. This approach offers children and adolescents diverse opportunities for learning, support, and experience, helping to activate and utilize their resources effectively.
