43 years of political education for Europe – our mission:

The nonpartisan Schwarzkopf-Stiftung Junges Europa was founded by Pauline Schwarzkopf in 1971. Ever since the aim was „to support the development of young people into politically-aware and responsible citizens by focusing on the strengthening of the European Idea and pan-European understanding.” The second aim is the combating of racism, right-wing extremism and anti-Semitism.
