Educational Projects / Calls for School Classes (International Youth Library Foundation)

The International Youth Library Foundation supports nationwide training and literature mediation projects for school classes in cooperation with various partners. Educational institutions can apply for funding at any time for innovative projects that promote reading, literary understanding, and cultural competence among students. The goal is to create creative approaches to literature beyond exhibitions, workshops, and readings, and to strengthen the exchange between schools and cultural institutions. Eligible for funding are general education schools and individual classes that apply with a specific project proposal. Applications are submitted by the school or class and can be made at any time without a fixed deadline.

Teachers receive the opportunity through the grant to implement sustainable projects that may include both text-analytical and artistic elements. The diverse thematic areas range from interactive workshops to historical readings and media education formats. Cooperation with experts in children's and youth literature creates an exciting learning environment that goes beyond regular classroom instruction. The ongoing funding opportunity facilitates the planning of multi-year initiatives and enables continuous development of literature education offerings. Potential applicants can find all relevant information directly from the International Youth Library Foundation and have access to current calls for proposals at any time.
