<p>Some info re bildungsurlaub from FOSSGIS from Katja Haferkorn.</p>
<p>The Educational leave (Bildungsurlaub/Bildungszeit ) in Germany
is complicated.<br>
It must be applied for separately in each federal state, and each
federal state has a different form. Sometimes there is a fee.<br>
For Hamburg, it is applied for here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.hamburg.de/service/info/11279959/">https://www.hamburg.de/service/info/11279959/</a><br>
Costs 70 euros.<br>
<br>
Participants apply for educational leave from their employer and
are given time off work for further training.<br>
<br>
Sometimes the application is rejected because conferences are not
eligible. Allegedly because it is impossible to check whether
people are actually participating in the "curriculum".<br>
<br>
The application must include the teaching concept and the schedule
for the event, with at least 6 hours of teaching time per day.<br>
</p>
<p>Hope this helps!</p>
<p>Best wishes,<br>
Nick. </p>
