Ein Quadratkilometer Bildung (km2 Bildung) is an initiative dedicated to promoting education in neighborhoods and communities affected by poverty. Founded with the goal of providing all children and young people equal educational opportunities regardless of their social background, km2 Bildung builds vibrant educational and training partnerships.
The main mission of km2 Bildung is to promote educational justice and ensure that all children and young people have equal educational opportunities. The company's values are based on the belief that good education is possible everywhere and that local responsible communities are crucial for success. Transparency, participation, and close collaboration among the various stakeholders are central values[1][2].
Since its founding, the initiative has received significant investments, particularly from the Freudenberg Foundation, which invested 8.6 million euros from 2006 to 2020. The positive feedback from leaders and the visible educational successes confirm the effectiveness of the approach. km2 Bildung continues to advocate for holistic and needs-oriented education to increase educational justice in the affected regions in the long term[1][2].
