This year, 34 projects will receive funding from the state program "Pegasus - Schools adopt monuments". According to a statement from the Ministry of Culture, a total of 10,050 euros in prize money is available for the winners selected by an expert jury. The grammar schools, primary schools, secondary schools, special schools and vocational schools will each receive between 250 and 500 euros to realize their ideas.
"Anyone who goes in search of clues and uncovers the secrets behind castle ruins, ground monuments or gravestones learns a lot about our history," said Minister of Culture Christian Piwarz (CDU). However, engaging with monuments also means "learning from history for the present and future".
