Children and young people make a start into life from very different backgrounds and with very different prospects. We see it as our duty to increase equality of opportunity by means of cultural advancement and education. Whatever its familiar or social background, every child should have the same educational opportunities. Another focus of our commitment is the sponsorship of projects and charities which support children in difficult life situations.
We are committed to equal educational opportunities for children and young people. To further this aim, we are the official partner company of the education promotion project "rechenfix & wortgewandt" ("quick with numbers & clever with words") at the Jens-Nydahl-Elementary School in Berlin Kreuzberg. The project provides targeted support for around 60 boys and girls from an immigrant background with a high achievement potential. It assists them to improve their skills in reading, writing and arithmetic during the third to sixth form. In addition, we organize opportunities to gain insights into professional life and various occupations. Visits to companies and public institutions provide a realistic picture of future career paths. "rechenfix & wortgewandt" conveys the message: Learning pays! More information you find here: www.rechenfix-wortgewandt.de
Not least, commitment to children's welfare means to improve traffic safety for the youngest. That's why we support the Senate of Berlin's annual campaign "Watch out for school starters!". The city-wide campaign calls for awareness for the first formers who just started to attend school. At the beginning of the new school year, motorists and cyclists should be extra careful. Besides providing large stickers for the vehicles of our partners from politics, business and associations, Wall GmbH supports the campaign with 1000 free City Light Posters.
Education needs reliable foundations in the community. Since 2012, we are a regular partner to MORUS 14, a charity committed to social integration by means of education, cultural activities and violence prevention in the Rollberg neighbourhood in Berlin Neukölln. By combining educational support and neighbourhood help, the charity provides a central point of contact in the Rollberg estate. Its offers span from a network for the educational advancement of pupils, which provides more than 100 children and teenagers with voluntary mentors, to community cooking. Thus, MORUS 14 implements a culture of democracy, tolerance and integration in the neighbourhood. This contributes to the successful prevention of violence and vandalism in the public space. Wall GmbH is an institutional patron of MORUS 14.
We are helping the charity Herzenswünsche e.V. to raise donations by providing free bus advertising. The purpose of this nationwide charity, based in Muenster, is to fulfill the biggest wishes of critically ill children, like a meeting with a favourite soccer star, a walk over the red carpet or a trip to Disneyworld. Often, the fulfillment of the dream of a lifetime helps children to cope with difficult times like a period of hospitalization. Unfortunately, the wishes conveyed to Hezenswünsche e.V. are sometimes last wishes – therefore it is all the more important to fulfill them.
The Berlin charity KinderMusicalTheater e.V. offers children and teenagers more than just a leisure activity. For aspiring young talents, it may open the door to a professional stage career. Thus, KinderMusicalTheater e.V. is much more than a charitable endeavour. The charity takes a stand for integration, against discrimination; for respect and tolerance, against aggression and violence. Music and dance become the language of togetherness. While the partaking children publicly perform all the year round at various events, the highlight of each season is the staging of a big production. We support the charity by providing free poster advertising spaces.
