Lern-Fair

Lern-Fair e.V. is a non-profit organization, founded in March 2020 in response to the school closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization is based in Bonn and has been striving since its inception to provide equal educational opportunities for all students in Germany.

The main mission of Lern-Fair is to promote educational equity and ensure that all students in Germany have equal opportunities for education, regardless of their social background, gender, and other factors. The organization advocates for a society in which every person can participate equally and autonomously[1][3].

• Educational Equity: By providing free and digital educational offerings, the aim is to make the educational landscape fairer and to overcome learning deficits, especially those caused by the pandemic[3][5].
• Corporate Volunteering: Companies can encourage their employees to engage as volunteers with Lern-Fair, which not only has a social impact but also strengthens corporate values and employee retention[2].
• Partnerships and Funding: Lern-Fair is supported by various foundations and companies, including the Andreas Gerl Foundation, the German Television Lottery, and the Dieter Schwarz Foundation[4].
