The “Projekt Pausentaste”’s 4th annual symposium and the subsequent working and networking event
was in 2020 largely set up as a digital conference due to the current COVID-19 situation. 80 members of the network and other guests came together digitally on three different days to discuss topics relating to this year’s focus on “Young carers in the context of school and education“. During the symposium on October 10, research results and data concerning young carers in school were presented and new educational material of the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth was introduced. Network members discussed a number of related topics in six interactive sessions on October 8. The results of the working groups were presented in a final online meeting on October 29.
