The Inflexion Foundation is pleased to announce that it has entered into a three-year partnership with Stiftung Lesen, which promotes reading skills and media literacy, through a grant of €170,000. 

Stiftung Lesen’s vision is that all people can read. As an advocate for reading and media competency in Germany, Stiftung Lesen works to ensure every child has access to education, develops essential reading and media skills, and discovers the joy of reading. To build these skills and raise literacy levels, the charity offers accessible programmes for children aged up to 12 and their families, regardless of financial, cultural, or social background. 

Reading opens doors to education, opportunity and independence. We are proud to support Stiftung Lesen’s vital work to improve children’s literacy across Germany and delighted our funding will help launch new reading clubs so more children can thrive.

Martin Preuss Partner, Inflexion

Reading is a key skill for every aspect of life – from actively improving every child’s life to future-oriented societies. In reading clubs at schools, children and young people can explore the joy of reading without the pressure of grades and guided by their own interests. To make this possible, we need sufficient resources and strong partners like the Inflexion Foundation, whose support makes a valuable contribution to reading promotion across Germany.

Lesen ist eine Schlüsselkompetenz für alle Lebensbereiche – vom schulischen Erfolg bis zur aktiven Mitgestaltung unserer Gesellschaft. In den Leseclubs können Kinder und Jugendliche frei von Notendruck und an ihren eigenen Interessen orientiert erleben, wie viel Freude im Lesen steckt. Damit das gelingt, braucht es eine gute Ausstattung und starke Partner wie der Inflexion Foundation, die mit ihrer Unterstützung einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Leseförderung leisten.
