Back on Track e.V.

Back on Track e.V. is a German non-profit organization that empowers refugee children to learn at their own pace through self-determined educational concepts and professional mentorship based on multilingualism and trauma-informed care, headquartered in Schwäbisch Gmünd.

Here are key aspects of the company:

• Innovation: The initiative developed a unique learning model where students determine their own curriculum and speed, allowing them to seek specific help from mentors for subjects like mathematics while setting personal weekly goals.
• Industries: The organization operates within the education sector, specifically focusing on supporting refugee children who face challenges integrating into the German school system.
• Customers: Their primary beneficiaries are families of refugees, particularly those who arrived in Germany with their families from Syria and encountered significant hurdles in navigating local educational structures.

Founded in 2016 by academics who migrated to Germany starting in 2012, Back on Track e.V. professionalized its volunteer work through partnerships with the University of Education Schwäbisch Gmünd to address multilingualism and trauma effectively.
