Südholstein Savings Bank Foundation: Smart little brains. Investing in education means investing in the future. This far-sighted principle is part of the Savings Banks philosophy. Consequently, four Savings Banks foundations focus on educational offers for children and young people. For example, the numerous educational projects supported by the Sparkasse Südholstein foundation include financial and organisational support for an enrichment programme designed to promote particularly talented children.
The project gives these children the chance to bring their special skills to life – without restrictions. Special workshops help them discover and build on their particular aptitudes and individual talents, by playing with other children who think and feel in a similar fashion. For Sparkasse Südholstein, a Savings Bank in the far north of Germany, the importance of this targeted promotion is that the project unleashes cognitive and creative potential – which our society will need urgently in the future.
9,852 girls and boys have attended 826 training courses since early 1999. Right now, 84 workshops in progress are being attended by 1,162 pupils. The offer comprises the arts, history, mathematics, languages (including Chinese and Japanese), as well as environmental and scientific experiments.
