ISTA

The Insti­tute for the Situa­tio­nal Approach (ISTA) at the Inter­na­tio­nal Aca­demy Ber­lin (INA) gGmbH was foun­ded in 1996 and is dedi­ca­ted to the fur­ther deve­lo­p­ment and dis­se­mi­na­tion of the situa­tio­nal approach.
Through con­ti­nuing edu­ca­tion and trai­ning pro­grams, as well as various rese­arch and prac­ti­cal pro­jects focu­sed on the Situa­tio­nal Approach, qua­lity deve­lo­p­ment, and eva­lua­tion, children’s rights, and child pro­tec­tion, ISTA works to ack­now­ledge and take seriously all perspectives—including, and espe­ci­ally, those of children—to explore them, and to give them space—at all levels, from rese­arch to day­care prac­tice, from daily group life to the orga­niza­tio­nal level.
To this end, children’s per­spec­ti­ves have been gathe­red in all pro­jects since 2016.
