I support Lern-Fair e.V. because it reaches children and young people who often do not receive much support at home and could otherwise miss out on school. For me, however, education is the key to a better life and an important prerequisite for being able to actively participate in social and economic life.

A great way to support pupils and give them opportunities that they might otherwise have been denied. I can give my student opportunities and hope that she is not alone. The support is also very formative and encouraging for me as a student.

Lern-Fair gives you the opportunity to look beyond your own nose and get a feel for how other social groups are living in and with the pandemic. The exchange is informal and at eye level, away from school structures and learning stress.
