Zeitbild Stiftung

The Zeitbild Foundation was established in December 2006 by Zeitbild Verlag and Agentur für Kommunikation GmbH, owned by Bernd Woischnik. As a non-profit, operational foundation, it initiates and implements its own educational projects. Its focus is on supporting children and young people, particularly those in socially disadvantaged circumstances in Germany. The foundation develops nationwide campaigns, training programs, and teaching materials in cooperation with schools, universities, youth welfare institutions, companies, media, and governmental bodies to establish sustainable structures in education.

"The saying 'It takes a whole village to raise a child' is the guiding principle of the Zeitbild Foundation. It is committed to networking all stakeholders – parents, educators, teachers, lecturers, youth welfare services, businesses, media, and governmental actors – to promote social participation and equal opportunities through education and upbringing. The goal is to strengthen children and young people in their personal development and prepare them for a responsible social coexistence."

Children and young people growing up in socially challenging living conditions, as well as their educational mentors, are supported. The programs are aimed at schools and daycare centers nationwide, teachers, educational professionals, and multipliers who are strengthened in their work through creative, digital, and historical-political educational offerings. Additionally, the foundation cooperates with universities, youth welfare institutions, and civil society organizations to establish sustainable learning networks.
