CONNECT Foundation Award

The CONNECT Foundation Award is aimed at educational and public benefit institutions in Baden-Württemberg and honors outstanding school-based as well as extracurricular initiatives that promote personal and social skills. Educational institutions, nonprofit as well as public organizations can submit applications on an ongoing basis and receive an award that, in addition to financial support, also generates valuable recognition for their commitment. The goal is to strengthen the self-perception of pupils, students, and young professionals, foster team spirit, and make democratic coexistence tangible. Projects that implement innovative teaching and learning methods, practical workshops, or mentoring programs are particularly the focus of this recognition.

The award is granted without fixed deadlines: ideas and concepts can be presented at any time, providing the foundation with maximum flexibility. Initiatives in the fields of vocational and continuing education, social cohesion, work, and social affairs benefit from reliable funding that sets impulses for sustainable learning. Committed organizations gain not only financial resources through the award but also a strong network of experts and practitioners in the education sector. Through continuous support, the foundation contributes to young people developing self-confidence and responsibly embarking on their personal and professional lives.
