Theodor-Heuss-Kolleg is a program of the Robert Bosch Stiftung, a German foundation that has managed the philanthropic request of company founder Robert Bosch for more than 40 years, and MitOst, an international non-profit association with an office in Berlin, Germany. Theodor-Heuss-Kolleg supports young people who want to contribute as volunteers in shaping their environment and facilitating social change.
In individually developed projects, they have the opportunity to be active, develop friendships and gain important experiences. We assist in the implementation of the projects over the course of one year with training and international meetings. Individuals between the ages of 18 and 25, from German speaking countries, Central and Southeast Europe and CIS countries can become active and work together. The mission of Robert Bosch Stiftung - to promote understanding among nations - is effectively put into practice in
Theodor-Heuss-Kolleg. MitOst, founded as alumni-organization of Robert Bosch Stiftung fellows, involves 1700 members in 40 countries in voluntary projects and creates ties over national borders.
