Scholarships for Professional Consulting (Arche Seal)

The Bündnis Mensch & Tier Foundation offers scholarships for expert consultation, providing free telephone advice for private individuals who work with or plan to keep old and endangered domestic animal breeds. Expert consultants support animal keepers and interested parties on key topics such as species and breed selection, species-appropriate husbandry, training, enrichment, and methods of animal-assisted services. Additionally, guidance and support are provided for applications for the Arche Seal or joining the Begegnungshöfe network. Through targeted preparation – selecting a main topic and formulating up to three concise questions – it is ensured that the consultation is individual and efficient. This measure is aimed at all those who want to become active or deepen their knowledge in the areas of animal welfare, energy efficiency & climate protection, and business financing in animal husbandry.

Applications can be submitted at any time, as this is an ongoing funding opportunity. A prerequisite is an interest in old and endangered domestic animal breeds, as well as the description of a specific consultation focus and the formulation of relevant questions. Submitted inquiries are evaluated based on thematic relevance and clarity of the questions. In this way, the Bündnis Mensch & Tier Foundation not only promotes commitment to endangered domestic animal breeds but also supports the professional qualification of animal keepers. Interested persons submit a completed application form and promptly benefit from the expertise of experienced consultants to contribute sustainably to the preservation of genetic diversity and the welfare of animals.
