About us
Sustainability by educational workNew Hope and Light e.V.
AZAV-certified educational institution
New Hope and Light e. V.
is an independent provider of child and youth welfare services and a non-profit organisation dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities and promoting social inclusion.
Our work is aimed at children, teenagers and young adults – particularly those with diverse educational backgrounds and varying support needs.
Our educational programmes have historically evolved from practical workshops, particularly in the areas of sustainability, environmental education and intercultural learning. We focus on active learning, project work and experiments that build self-confidence, skills and perspectives. This preventive educational work remains a key foundation of our organisation’s profile to this day.
In recent years, we have further professionalised our structures and specifically expanded our range of services – with a stronger focus on career guidance, skills development and the transition to apprenticeships and employment. Our practical educational work combines technical, digital and creative learning formats with individual support and an inclusive, low-threshold approach.

We work inclusively, which means that the learning contents are prepared in a differentiated manner such that the participants’ abilities are adequately challenged, but not overtaxed. This differentiation in terms of content and method ensures that everything conforms to the various needs of the participants. The workshop materials are always adapted subject-specifically and to suit the participants’ age by our qualified speakers.
In our projects, we seek to address outdated clichés and role models. Accordingly, it is our heartfelt desire to create new perspectives and highlight ways of mutual interaction. For the STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), this entails motivating young women and girls to exploit their talents and supporting them in their endeavor to pursue goals. in these fields.
We learn globally
With our educational offers, we want to highlight the consequences which our consumption of commodities has for people in the Global South. The educational concept of “global learning” enables global interrelationships to be recognized and connections to be established between our local life and the lives of people in the Global South.
