Mission & Vision
Starting from the increasing number of children and adolescents dependent on or at risk from the internet, the foundation aims to support families in restoring their communication structures within the media-permeated living environment and to accompany children on their path to independent, responsible media use. With an interdisciplinary team, the foundation conducts educational work in everyday parenting, creates spaces for children and adolescents "between times," and systematically evaluates its projects. Respect for human dignity, the priority of the child's welfare, and trusting cooperation with parents form the basis of all actions.
Target groups
The foundation's offerings are aimed at parents, families, educational professionals, and staff of all social support systems, as well as children and adolescents growing up in a world shaped by digital media. The goal is to support parents in nurturing media education and to assist young people in their search for identity within the virtual space.
