Sparkasse Freiburg supports outdoor heroes: 2,000 euros for children's adventures!

The Sparkasse Freiburg-Nördlicher Breisgau recently made a generous donation of 2,000 euros to the experiential educational project “Outdoor Heroes” by fill’e anima – Herzenskinder e.V. This support makes it possible to give children and young people an eventful stay in nature, which distracts them from everyday life and helps them to discover their own strengths. Alexander Jacobs, head of the Sparkasse's board of directors, ceremoniously handed over the check to the association's representatives.

The initiatives in this project are colorful facets of experiential education that aim to promote community and trust. Activities such as camping, an EXIT game and building a pizza oven await the participants. These experiences not only offer young people fun, but also the opportunity to get to know and develop themselves and their skills in a group situation. This strengthens self-confidence and promotes social skills, which is invaluable in everyday life. The philosophy of experiential education, which is also considered valuable by many experts, emphasizes the importance of practical experiences in nature for the personal development of children and young people.

The role of fill’e anima – Herzenskinder e.V.

fill’e anima – Herzenskinder e.V. is a specialist center with the clear aim of promoting the bond and well-being of foster children and their families. The association not only offers advice and education, but also numerous experiential educational projects that help children feel safe and comfortable in their surroundings. On the website [fill’e anima](www.fill-e-anima.de), those interested can find out more about the various projects that enable young people to explore their own limits and develop in a supportive community.

In summary, the support from Sparkasse shows how important it is to support the valuable work of organizations like fill’e anima. This is not only in the interest of the children who benefit from these programs, but also of the entire community, which benefits from strong bonds with one another. When children gain positive experiences in their free time, they have even more tools to be successful later in life. Further information about the adventures of experiential education can also be found on Jugend-Kompass, where the advantages of such projects are comprehensively examined.
