Regionales Bildungsbüro Landkreis Ravensburg

What Regionales Bildungsbüro Landkreis Ravensburg does

Regionales Bildungsbüro Landkreis Ravensburg (Regional Education Office of the Ravensburg District) is a Stabsstelle — a dedicated staff unit — within the Landratsamt Ravensburg, the district administration of Landkreis Ravensburg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It was established in 2006 as one of the two founding regions of the state-wide Landesprogramm Bildungsregionen programme. Its mandate is to coordinate education policy and transitions across the district, acting as a convening body rather than a service-delivery operator. The office serves schools, families, students, municipalities, employer associations (IHK, Kreishandwerkerschaft), the Jobcenter, social-service organisations such as Diakonie and Caritas, foundations, and volunteer groups.

The office's product surface consists of branded programmes and recurring formats rather than licensed technology. Active offerings include steps.rv (school-to-work transition), PaSSt.rv (parents and schools in partnership), Ganztags-ABC (all-day schooling), Weichenstellung (transition support), Berufswahlordner (career-choice portfolio), Bildungskonferenz (district education conference), Veranstaltungskalender (event calendar), and recurring Bildungsberichte (district education reports). It also runs the newer denkraum event format. Underlying infrastructure is modest: a public website, a Brevo-hosted newsletter, and an active LinkedIn presence; there is no proprietary technology platform.

The business model is entirely public-sector. The office is funded by the Landratsamt Ravensburg and the Baden-Württemberg state programme; it charges no fees to its beneficiaries and generates no commercial revenue. Core staff consists of two named individuals (Ludger Baum and Brigitte Grünacher) supported by working students and interns. Strategic governance is provided by a multi-stakeholder Steuergruppe (steering group) that anchors the office's convening role. A 20th-anniversary programme is scheduled for October 2026.
