Stiftung Fairchance

The Stiftung Fairchance, founded in December 2009 in Berlin, aims to provide children and adolescents, especially those with a migration background and from socially disadvantaged backgrounds, with better perspectives and opportunities for a self-determined life in Germany. The focus is on promoting the German language, as it is considered essential for social and political participation as well as integration[1][3][5].

The central program of the foundation is the language support program MITsprache, which aims to intensively promote children aged four to eight years in the German language. This program is carried out in close collaboration with schools and daycare centers and includes both traditional and digital learning methods. Due to the Corona pandemic, the foundation has expanded its digital offerings to support language promotion even in home schooling. This includes learning apps, digital training offers for support staff, and the use of LMS systems as well as video conferencing tools[2].

The Stiftung Fairchance focuses on long-term and sustainable support of existing public structures. Creative and innovative programs are intended to promote the integration of children with a migration background. Digitalization plays a central role in implementing language support efficiently and extensively. The foundation is working to improve the technical conditions at the institutions and to ensure the quality assurance of the programs through digital processes[1][2].

The Corona pandemic has significantly influenced the work of the Stiftung Fairchance but has also opened up new opportunities. By intensifying digital communication and introducing new digital learning opportunities, the foundation was able to expand its reach and strengthen the bond with families and educational institutions. Despite the technical challenges that still need to be overcome, the foundation sees digitalization as an important pillar for future work and the sustainable establishment of its programs[2].

The Stiftung Fairchance is an example of private engagement in Germany, which represents an important complement to public funding. Through its work, the foundation makes a significant contribution to social integration and the improvement of opportunities for children and adolescents to lead a self-determined life. The positive feedback and high demand for its programs confirm the right path that the foundation has taken[1].
