Projects
Our foundation supports projects and institutions that are dedicated to the topic of self-determined education. Thereby the spectrum of projects is broad:
- from events for children, young people and families that create opportunities to experience and explore new things,
- to the creation of spaces and offerings that provide innovative learning opportunities that go beyond school-based learning,
- through to research projects that examine education and upbringing and aim to develop new concepts.
In principle, we can support projects of organizations and institutions that are recognized as non-profit.
