SHL
Schüler Helfen Leben strengthens young people as experts in their own field. We as young people shape, decide and take responsibility in solidarity. Our activities overcome borders and boundaries. Education is the main focus of our programs. Action formats such as our Solidarity Action Day mobilize pupils and secure our financial basis. This is how we support projects in their local commitment and develop future-oriented, long-term partnerships.
We involve people of different ages to social and political issues in the context of our work. Commitment and volunteer services with Schüler Helfen Leben enable intensive learning experiences, personal exchange and networking. Through partnerships with civil society, politics, business, media and especially schools, we create an environment that welcomes youth involvement. We are a learning and continuously developing organization.
SHL funded MICC WeB during 2013 – 2015.
Kingdom of the Netherlands - Matra Programme
The Matra programme supports countries in Southeast and Eastern Europe in the transition to a pluralist and democratic society, governed by the rule of law.
Matra supports activities that encourage the process of change and strengthen relations between the Netherlands and Matra countries. The programme works with civil society and central and local authorities alike. Most projects take the form of twinning, i.e. partnership between a Dutch and a local organisation.
The general objective of the Matra programme is to contribute to the development of a plural democracy, grounded in the rule of law, with room for dialogue between government and civil society; to build capacity and strengthen the institutions of civil society and government; and to strengthen bilateral relations.
Matra funded MICC WeB during 2020 – 2021.
EVZ Foundation
The Foundation EVZ aims to anchor the history of forced labour under National Socialism in the German and European culture of remembrance. The victims are given a voice and their experiences of National Socialism are preserved for future generations. The Foundation is also helping develop a culture of remembrance for the German migration society. It is channelling the lessons learned from experiences of violence in the 20th century into the international debate. The Foundation is also raising awareness of the Jewish contribution to German and European history.
With the local history funding program, the EVZ Foundation supports local and regional history initiatives from Central and Eastern Europe in implementing projects to reappraise and remember the era of National Socialism and the Second World War. The funded projects thematically examine places, people, and events from National Socialist history.
EVZ funded MICC WeB during 2016 – 2018.
