The Competence Centre for the Teaching of Low German (KND) has the task of strengthening and developing teacher training in the field of Low German. We also conduct research in the areas of cooperative learning and digital education and develop teaching materials [de]. The KND offers in-service training and further education programmes [de] for teachers and professionals in childcare centres.
We summarised our activities in this video to mark our 5th anniversary in 2022 [de]:
With the establishment of the Competence Centre, the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is consolidating university education in the field of Low German and related subject areas, thereby not only fulfilling its obligations under the "European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages", but also meeting a growing need among the population to raise awareness of the Low German language as part of North German identity and to preserve it.
