The German-Czech Future Fund is supporting more than 220 new cross-border projects. At its most recent meeting, the Board of Directors made more than 1.4 million euros available for this purpose, as a spokesperson for the Future Fund announced in Prague on Thursday. Part of this will go to projects on the theme of the year "The Generation of our Century". The aim is to enable young people to creatively express their dreams and hopes as well as their doubts and fears.
Pupils exchange ideas
The Elsenfeld secondary school in the Lower Franconian district of Miltenberg and the Christian Doppler Grammar School in Prague have opted for a literary approach. Using works by Franz Kafka and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, pupils will ask themselves questions about self-perception and current issues, according to a statement.
Pupils from Kranichfeld in Thuringia and Uhersky Brod in the Czech Republic will also meet for five days. They will have the opportunity to compare their perspectives with those of their peers from the neighboring country. At the end, they will create a joint manifesto for their generation.
