‘Brockhaus Aktion Bildungspate’ Celebrates Its Second Anniversary

The “Brockhaus Aktion Bildungspate” (Brockhaus Educational Patron Campaign) celebrates its second anniversary. Since May 2010, Brockhaus has been donating several book packages per month to educational institutions for children and youths. Thanks to many committed educational patrons the publisher has been able to give the “knowledge packages” to more than 130 kindergartens and schools in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. At the occasion of this second anniversary Brockhaus provides ten boxes fully packed with books in the month of May.

Christoph Hünermann, Managing Director Inmediaone and responsible for the publisher, comments: “Many educational institutions are not optimally equipped – the many requests for donations we receive confirm this fact. With our campaign we aim to make a small contribution to offering children and youths access to education. We will continue our campaign and look forward to supporting many more educational institutions in the future.”

And this is how the campaign works: those who wish to apply as educational patrons suggest an institution of which they believe that it deserves a big knowledge package at brockhaus.de. At the end of the month lots are drawn for the winners. The institutions recommended by the patrons receive a knowledge package with about 30 books – custom-tailored to their requirements. The commitment of the educational patrons is also rewarded: they receive a certificate and a small surprise as a thank-you gift.
