German term

lebens- und kulturtechnische Bereiche

German to English Medical Medical: Health Care Nursing care
From a work reference for a nurse in a workshop for disabled people:

[Die] primaer geistig behinderte Mitarbeiter werden in lebens- und kulturtechnischen Bereichen gefoerdert.

I have not been able to find a comparable English phrase. My nearest guess is "life and cultural skills".
Proposed translations (English)
4 +3 living and cultural skills
3 +1 life and social skills

Thanks - and yes, Hilary, it's a reference. I think you're the first person to notice!
Hilary Davies Shelby Dec 9, 2007:
Just noticed your name Tanaudel - a Diana Wynne Jones reference or a coincidence?
Michelle Hertrich Dec 9, 2007:
I work as a physio in sheltered workshops for the disabled. "Life and cultural skills" is a good translation. This is basically the header for two categories that can include everything from social interaction to learning how to fill in forms.
