CONNECT Foundation Project (CONNECT Foundation)

The CONNECT Foundation continuously supports school-based and extracurricular educational initiatives in Baden-Württemberg that strengthen the personal and social skills of learners of all ages. Each year, a project is supported or initiated with financial grants to provide pupils, students, and career starters with practical experiences and sustainable learning impulses. The focus is particularly on innovative concepts from educational institutions, non-profit organizations, initiatives, schools, and universities that develop creative teaching and learning formats or expand proven approaches. The commitment promotes not only subject-specific content but also key qualifications such as teamwork, communication skills, and personal responsibility.

Interested sponsors, including schools, universities, educational centers, and civil society organizations, can submit project ideas and apply for a grant at any time. A prerequisite is the formal submission of the application by the eligible institution. The funding can be used for training and further education measures, workshops, excursions, or innovative learning projects. The goal is to achieve sustainable impact and to prepare participants as best as possible for their educational and professional paths. The uncomplicated application process without fixed deadlines offers the opportunity to flexibly adapt ideas to the individual project course and to receive funding commitments quickly.
