Education and upbringing
Education is the key to a self-determined and successful future. In our modern society, education plays a central role in giving young people the tools they need to reach their full potential. The Wirth Foundation supports projects that are dedicated to precisely this goal: it promotes initiatives that give children and young people access to high-quality education and comprehensive upbringing.
Our "Education and training" funding area comprises a variety of programs aimed at improving equal opportunities and closing educational gaps. Whether it is support for schools, vocational training centers, universities or innovative educational initiatives - we are committed to ensuring that every young person has the opportunity to expand their knowledge and skills and thus shape their own future.
Another focus is the promotion of lifelong learning. In a rapidly changing world, continuous further education and the acquisition of new skills are essential. Through our support for popular education, vocational training and student aid, we make an important contribution to ensuring that young people are not left alone on their educational path. We help them to overcome obstacles and seize new opportunities.
In addition to traditional educational support, we attach great importance to strengthening personal development. Children and young people should not only be prepared for success at school, but should also grow up to become self-confident, responsible and committed members of society. This is why we support projects that focus on social cohesion, teamwork, creativity and the promotion of social skills.
Our goals in the area of education and upbringing:
- Equal opportunities through access to education for all.
- Knowledge transfer and Education as cornerstones for a successful future.
- Vocational training and facilitate the transition from school to working life.
- Personal development and social skills into everyday education.
- Lifelong learning and support educational initiatives that are committed to continuous development.
