Educating young people is an investment in the future – the future of every individual and of society.

Giesecke & Devrient regards education as extending beyond school education or academic studies. With the world becoming ever more interconnected, intercultural skills and an awareness of other cultures are essential. With its planned international sponsorship and exchange programs, which are open to all young people, the Giesecke & Devrient Foundation aims to contribute to peaceful coexistence and successful collaboration in a globalised world.

Conceived for young people both within and outside Germany, the International Development Programme for Young People lies at the heart of the Giesecke & Devrient Foundation, which actively designs projects for the programme.
