The project: Capabilities in the context of education and whole-day schooling co-ordinated by the University of Bielefeld, which this expertise is prepared for, is aimed at: discussion of different models of integrating education (Bildung), bringing together formal education (school), nonformal education (youth work, etc.) and informal education (parents, peers, etc). The thesis behind it is that: a modern approach to education should not only focus on school objective knowledge, but try to integrate the other fields of education (as in the above), too the above can happen in form of modern school organization but it can also happen in an independently organized form e.g. in the afternoon.
