Education and participation package
The education and participation package is intended to enable children and young people from low-income families to participate in social activities. For example, they should be able to play in a soccer club, receive a warm lunch at school or a daycare center, or go to the zoo with their school.
Education and participation package
The city of Wolfsburg can enable children from low-income families up to the age of 18 to participate in social and cultural life by
participation in social and cultural life by paying a subsidy of up to 15 euros per month to the service provider.
You can find information on this in the following brochure, which is available in various languages.

The Wolfsburg education card is the simple 
and practical solution for implementing the federal government's education and participation package. The previous paper vouchers are being replaced by the education card, which children and young people only need to present to the respective service provider. The card will be issued upon initial approval by the competent authority and activated according to the identified needs.
Participating service providers can conveniently debit the services used online. A simple PC with Internet access is sufficient to participate in the system.
We can offer you the following services:
- One-day trips (daycare/school)
- Trips lasting several days (daycare/school)
