eltern.chat – Professional Discussions By Parents For Parents

‘Eltern.chat’ was invented because standard, lecture-based educational sessions held at locations removed from the family did not function. It is nimble but clearly structured and hires moderators who guide and keep discussions on topic within a private social network. It also works well for women with non-Austrian roots. The novel setup makes the most of their openness towards education. The system is self-managing with a central framework, and easily expandable. It contributes to the practice of communal learning – one-eighth of communities in Vorarlberg are already participating. We hope it will spread even further.
