Education and challenges

In times when education in Germany is often underfunded, the commitment of everyone involved is more important than ever. The challenges are diverse: from inclusion and digital education to all-day schools that need space and cooperation partners to promote the expanded concept of education. The Education Foundation has made it its mission to support precisely these topics and promotes projects that focus on opportunities and social justice for children and young people.

Together with committed schools like the New Gymnasium, it becomes clear that education not only imparts knowledge, but also promotes social skills and opens up new perspectives. In this regard, every contribution, no matter how small, can make a big difference. Because when the community comes together to work for the future of children, the foundation for a strong society is laid.

The fundraising run once again showed how important collaboration between school, clubs and sponsors is. We can be all the more excited to see what projects can be realized in the future to strengthen learning and cooperation.
