ADVANTAGE – I love learning for life!

The Ruck – Foundation for Renewal continuously supports workshops in Berlin through its program “Advantage – I love learning for life!” These workshops focus on efficient learning strategies, strengthening learning competence, and promoting the mental health of young people. Public educational institutions can apply for a grant as sponsors to practically support students at cooperating schools such as Ernst-Reuter-Schule or Friedrich-Bergius-Schule in developing a positive self-image and sustainable self-confidence in their abilities. The initiative aims to raise awareness about the conditions for successful learning, highlight the importance of balanced physical and mental health, and make structural obstacles visible while demonstrating opportunities for action.

The continuously funded units are specifically aimed at young people in Berlin schools who wish to enhance their learning and performance capabilities. In interactive modules, participants work together with experts on topics such as time management, memory techniques, and stress management. Furthermore, potential obstacles in everyday school life are addressed, and concrete measures are conveyed to enable learners to shape their individual learning processes autonomously. The grant allows institutions to plan the offering flexibly and integrate it into the school routine. This creates a sustainable learning advantage that not only imparts knowledge but also strengthens the well-being of young people and promotes their equal opportunities.
