What does SV-Bildungswerk do?

The SV-Bildungswerk ("Educational Institute for Student Representation and Student Participation") is a nationwide support structure for and by students and young people. It strengthens young people in actively bringing their concerns, interests and views into school and society. To this end, it trains students, organizes exchange formats and implements participation processes in matters of school development and other important social issues.

Why are we awarding a grant to SV-Bildungswerk?

Students and young people are not only the target group of the projects of the SV-Bildungswerk - they are also significantly involved in the conception and implementation. Out of their own interest, they develop projects themselves, implement workshops for other young people and get actively involved at school and in social debates. This not only increases the impact of the projects, but also allows for the important experience of self-efficacy.

What is our mutual goal?

The SV-Bildungswerk is committed to opening up adult-dominated structures and discourses that strongly affect young people to children and juveniles. In this way, the association supports the youth in taking responsibility themselves, in being political, and in shaping their future according to their own ideas. With the SV-Bildungswerk, we want to help future generations of students learn and experience active participation - a cornerstone of democracy.
