Theodor-Heuss-Kolleg

The Theodor-Heuss-Kolleg supports young people who wish to engage as active and self-reliant citizens. Our tools include seminars, further education, support for volunteer work in projects and guidance through mentorship.

Our qualifcation concept allows us to concentrate on the personal development of the individual, strengthening social skills and assuming responsibility. 
In our focus regions we work together with partners in local or crossborder programs.

We promote a culture of active citizenship, which for us means transparency, openness, trust, diversity-consciousness, equality-orientation and social responsibility. The Theodor-Heuss-Kolleg is a program of the foundation Robert Bosch Stiftung and the MitOst Association.
