Stichting PAS

What Stichting PAS does

Stichting PAS is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (stichting) headquartered at the Onderwijshuis in Arnhem, Netherlands, operating as the designated center for educational equality and inclusion (kansengelijkheid en inclusie) for children in the Arnhem region. The foundation employs 37 staff and serves children aged 0-14+ through three continuous life stages: early childhood (0-4 years), primary school (4-12 years), and the transition to secondary education (10-14+ years). Its core service portfolio includes the Zomerschool Arnhem (summer school since 2009, delivering an average two-month learning gain), the Arnhemse Monitor Kansengelijkheid & Inclusie (a longitudinal monitoring tool), speech therapy services at childcare locations, and an extensive professional development curriculum for pedagogical staff, teachers, and quality coordinators.

The foundation's technical footprint is centered on educational methodology rather than technology platforms. PAS has developed proprietary training frameworks and materials including LOGO3000 (language development), "Met woorden in de weer" (vocabulary approach), and a series of masterclasses (Oog voor ontwikkeling, Oog voor diversiteit, Oog voor taalrijke interactie, Samenwerken met ouders, Oog voor sociaal-emotionele ontwikkeling). It operates a team of intermediairs (intermediaries) with language and cultural expertise in Dutch, Arabic, Turkish, English, Ukrainian, and outreach to Roma/Sinti/Traveller communities, providing parent support and bridging services.

Stichting PAS operates as a municipally-funded nonprofit with no commercial revenue streams. All training, workshops, and masterclasses are provided free of charge to participants, funded by subsidies from the gemeente Arnhem and surrounding regional municipalities. The go-to-market model is community-led and event-driven, leveraging partnerships with schools (Olympus College, 't Venster, PO Kunstrijk, Paulus, De Witte Vlinder), childcare organizations (Skar, Partou, OKB), Taalhuis Arnhem, Rijnstad, and the Samen voor Taal in Arnhem / 100% Geletterd network. Distribution occurs through the Onderwijshuis training center, partner school locations, and an annual Samen Thuis in (Digi)Taal Festival.
