The Stuttgarter Kinderstiftung has taken on the responsibility of encouraging children to achieve greater things and enabling them to have a safe and healthy upbringing in Stuttgart. As a result, it has organised a children’s pedestrian licence since 2005. The idea behind it is to enable children to conduct themselves safely and self-reliantly on roads and streets. About 5,000 children take part in the foundation’s courses to teach them how to act best on their way to and from school.
Founded by the German football World Cup winner Jürgen Klinsmann, Stiftung Agapedia has been a charity partner of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix ever since 2007. It runs a children’s centre, an open facility for all youngsters across society. In addition to educational and integrational courses, the children’s centre offers holiday and leisure activities. Children learn how to unleash their creativity and develop their skills in the art studio.
