Alexander-Coppel comprehensive school's project honored with the Foundation award
The Town & Country Foundation, a charitable organisation based in Erfurt, recently awarded the 11th Town & Country Foundation Prize to Challenger gGmbH for their extraordinary program, "Challenge made easy". The certificate was presented by Thomas Reinicke, an employee of MehrWertHaus GmbH and foundation ambassador Jenny Berger.
The Town & Country Foundation Prize aims to support work with children and young people, honouring those who engage in such projects, many of them on a voluntary basis. This year, the foundation supported 300 non-profit institutions and projects with 1,111 euros each in the first round.
The "Challenge made easy" program, offered and carried out nationwide by Challenger gGmbH, based in Potsdam, focuses on projects that promote communication, empathy, and community or train mindfulness. In the program, young people choose an extraordinary, extracurricular challenge, work on their strengths, values, and development areas in workshops, plan with volunteer leaders, and complete the challenge within ten days.
The Alexander-Coppel-Comprehensive School is one of the recipients of the program offered by Challenger gGmbH. The prize money of 1,111 euros will be used for the implementation of workshops and the further training of volunteers.
Thomas Reinicke praised the commitment of the main and volunteer workers during the award ceremony. The commitment of these individuals is a testament to the foundation's mission to support disadvantaged children and young people.
The 16 state prize winners will be announced, honoured, and awarded an additional 5,000 euros each at a festive gala in Erfurt on June 21, 2024. The 11th Town & Country Foundation Prize is dedicated to togetherness and is under the sponsorship focus "TOGETHER - feel, speak, shape".
The Town & Country Foundation's work is made possible by the Town & Country franchise system, other supporters, and free donations. The foundation, initially aimed to help homeowners in distress, but later expanded its purpose to support disadvantaged children and young people. However, it's important to note that the founder of the Town & Country Foundation, which awarded the 11th Foundation Prize to Challenger gGmbH, is not identified in the provided search results.
Nonetheless, the 11th Town & Country Foundation Prize marks a significant step in supporting the development and growth of young people across Germany, fostering a sense of community and promoting empathy and mindfulness.
