Maud Beeskow: Frankfurt's heroine for education and equal opportunities

Beeskow, Deutschland - You could say that Maud Beeskow is the heart of the Faprik, a unique educational institution in Frankfurt. She has worked here an incredible 38 years and has been deeply interwoven with the institution since her first encounter with the Faprik through a classified ad in the city magazine "Paving beach". The Faprik, which was founded by teachers 40 years ago as a registered association, is committed to offering disadvantaged women new perspectives through education. There are courses for the secondary school leaving certificate, vocational preparation and language support, as well as apprenticeships for sellers and chefs. [FAZ.NET] (https://www.faz.net/aktuell/rhein-main/frankfurter-gesichter/maud-beskow-ist-kraft-frankfurt-Frankfurts-bring-110587255.html) reports that it was a special drive for women, who are often out of difficult social backgrounds come to enable access to education.

A challenging moment came in 1990 when the city of Offenbach stroked its grants and many employees left the Faprik. Beeskow, on the other hand, stayed and looked for contact with the Frankfurt Social Department. This persistence ensured that financial support for a business for office supplies, "drawer" could be secured. Their empathy and motivation were highly valued by the youth and social welfare office. Mayor Mike Josef and the former social secretary Daniela Birkenfeld recognized the commitment of Beeskow at the awarding of the honor badge of the city of Frankfurt.

education for all

The Faprik is not just a place of learning; It plays a central role in combating educational inequality. People with limited access to education are widespread in our society. These disadvantaged groups include refugees, people with a migration background and people from low -income households. According to [livingquarter.de] (https://www.livingquarter.de/bildungszug-fuer-benächtigigte-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-gruppen-zruppen, such as lower opportunities on the labor market and a higher risk of social exclusion. The FAPRIK not only responds to this topic in terms of content, but also relies on individual funding in order to meet the different needs of the participants.

The concept of the Faprik includes numerous measures to reduce barriers. These include multilingual learning materials and support programs that support deaf or non-German students. Digital education is also very important. At a time when digital skills are becoming increasingly important, it is crucial that disadvantaged groups have access to digital resources and learning platforms.

personal relationships and commitment

BEESKOW not only worked as a managing director of the Faprik, but also built personal ties to important actors in the city. She convinced Mike Josef to become a member of the club and spends her free time with the former social director Franz Frey playing chess. Their ability to establish networks and promote active cooperation ensures that FAPRIK remains a stable partner in the educational landscape. The commitment of the Faprik also extends to parent work in order to support families from less privileged conditions and to integrate them into the educational process.
