What does Bildung als Chance do?

Bildung als Chance (BaC – or Opportunity Through Education) is one of Germany’s largest functioning collective impact projects.  It helps educationally disadvantaged children and young people to obtain a school qualification.

Why have we awarded a grant to Bildung als Chance?

What is special about Bildung als Chance is that the three educational organisations involved – namely Apeiros, Chancenwerk and Teach First Deutschland – have set out to interweave their model into schools and communities in such a way that it creates a sustainable and coordinated support network for pupils.

What have we achieved together?

Together we want to establish Bildung als Chance as a permanent fixture in Hamburg in order that it can do more for pupils.  Similarly, we want to learn how a successfully functioning project can be transferred from one community to another; and we want to campaign for the Collective Impact initiative.
