    Elbstation Academy: Supporting Youth through Creativity and Education

    Key Products and Services

    The Elbstation Academy, a project of the Hamburger Elbstiftung, offers a diverse range of creative and educational activities for youth starting from the 7th grade. Here, participants learn to make films, perform theater, and produce radio contributions. They develop and present their own productions such as audio plays, theater pieces, and films, which are shown biannually to a large audience on Hamburg stages[1][3].

    In addition to media and theater projects, the Elbstation provides comprehensive advice and support on all matters related to school, training, and studies. This includes searching for internships and training positions, organizing free tutoring offers, advising on secondary schools, and supporting the choice of studies as well as applications for scholarships[1][3].

    Main Mission and Values

    The main mission of the Elbstation Academy is to provide better educational and career opportunities for youth from socially disadvantaged families and with a migration background. Through media and theater projects, the Elbstation promotes key competencies that are essential for a successful educational and career biography. Shared success experiences, such as presentations in front of a large audience, strengthen the self-confidence and willingness to perform of the youth[1][3].

    The values of the Elbstation Academy are based on social responsibility, commitment, and creativity. The goal is to create a supportive and motivating environment where youth can develop their skills and improve their future prospects.

    Sustainability Goals and Initiatives

    The Elbstation Academy is committed to supporting youth in the long term and offers a comprehensive program that provides support and guidance over many years. Participation in the Elbstation Academy is free of charge and is funded by donations to ensure that all youth can participate regardless of their social background[3].

    Additionally, the Elbstation collaborates with various partners such as the Max-Brauer-Schule, the Stadtteilschule Altona, and the Struensee Gymnasium to specifically reach students for whom participation in the program is particularly beneficial. These partnerships enable the implementation of cultural and educational projects and support the youth in their development[4].

    The Elbstation is also active within the framework of the Voluntary Social Year (FSJ) and offers youth the opportunity to work voluntarily for a year and experience social engagement. The Competence Certificate Culture, an educational pass for artistic and cultural engagement, is another tool to document and promote the skills and experiences of the youth[3].

    Through these initiatives and close collaboration with local institutions and schools, the Elbstation Academy implements sustainable goals aimed at improving the future opportunities of youth in Hamburg.
