The freedom of a clown as an innovative career choice

A clown’s methods of artistic representation are well suited for:

training in the personnel field (motivation training, group forming, dealing with problems, decision-making processes, promoting creativity, etc.);
for work with children and adolescents (anti-aggression training, theater games in a different language, dealing with trauma, etc.);
for support in therapeutic care of the sick and elderly.

The international school for clowns, humor and communication in Constance offers a specialization to become a Gesundheit!Clown®. The educational program takes three years and can be done part-time parallel to a career. It is the first comprehensive education in Europe to become a qualified clown to work in clinics, senior citizen homes as well as institutions for the mentally and physically handicapped. The governmental presidium in Freiburg recognized the Gesundheit!Clown® and the distinction Actor for Clown and Comedy as a new career. An authorization as a career school by the ministry in Stuttgart has been applied for and would thus make it possible to receive BaföG or educational grants.

If you would like to be trained as a Gesundheit!Clown®, you can get information in the context of so-called workshop performances of the Diplom study program Clown & Comedy: Saturday, March of 5th 2016, 8:00 pm, Tamala Center, 78467 Constance, Fritz-Arnold-Str. 23 (industrial area)

When does the Arbeitsagentur finance further education?

Anyone who has sought information about the offers for further career education knows: the market for further education is practically endless. This can make orientation difficult. In addition to questions of:

in what field
for what career perspectives
in what timeframe
with what concrete qualification
one would like to receive further education, the question of financing is one of the most important!

Essential for financing by the Arbeitsagentur (AA) – or in the case of disability by the statutory pension insurance – is whether the respective provider of further education has completed the comprehensive Arbeitsagentur certification procedure. If so, then the Arbeitsagentur provides it with an official administrative certificate. A successful Arbeitsagentur certification is identifiable in the so-called multi-position carrier and course numbers.

Important for research in the flood of offers for further education is also a view towards the phrase “This measure/this further education program is/will be recognized/certified by the Arbeitsagentur (with the following number/under…)”! Only then is it guaranteed that further education costs will be covered by the Arbeitsagentur after a successful case-by-case examination.

Examples of an Arbeitsagentur certification can be found here:
