In May and June 2025, two closing events marked the conclusion of the first funding phase of the GeKoRegio-Bayern project, conducted by the Health Literacy research team at the Technical University of Munich in collaboration with the regional health initiative Gesundheitsregionplus Landkreis Neu-Ulm.
The first event took place on May 7, 2025, with a parliamentary breakfast at the Bavarian State Parliament in Munich. Representatives from politics and academia met with the project team to discuss the concept developed to strengthen health literacy in early childhood education settings in Bavaria.
The second event followed on June 2, 2025, at the district administration office in Neu-Ulm, with a focus on regional practice. Central project results and initial findings on the state of organizational health literacy in preschools in Neu-Ulm were presented and discussed.
The project team sincerely thanks all participants and supporters for their great interest and valuable input.
The first funding phase concludes in June 2025 – but the project continues: GeKoRegio-Bayern II will build on the insights gained and will focus on developing, implementing, and evaluating a practice-oriented intervention to promote health literacy in early childhood education settings.
