In the “Education” area, we focus on combining STEM competencies (short for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), digital skills and creativity - as the key to helping shape tomorrow’s world today. In Hamburg and across Germany, we work together with partners on regional ecosystems for future education, and develop creative spaces in which curiosity and the spirit of research can flourish. We network, inspire and qualify the people who implement concrete educational programmes locally, and make good practice visible. In this respect, we are driven above all by the desire to open up opportunities for young people, regardless of their respective starting conditions, and to promote talents in all their diversity.

Art and culture play an indispensable role in our society. They encourage us to explore new points of view and promote a culture of discussion in our society, and they enable us to reflect on our identity and way of life. With our “Cultural Stimuli for Hamburg”, we support the cultural scene in the Hanseatic city - focussing on promoting talented young artists and new forms of cultural mediation. As an operational foundation, we also initiate our own projects.
