Partnership with schools

We work with schools that want to educate and inspire young people. Find out how MAF enriches lessons and shows pupils that they can change the world.

Making education possible together

School engagement

With MAF, theoretical classroom topics become tangible: real stories make global connections easy to grasp and technical knowledge applicable. As part of careers guidance, we introduce jobs with a purpose and give pupils a range of ways to get involved themselves. From primary school to upper secondary:

A talk by MAF

MAF fits wonderfully into lessons or project weeks. Pupils can explore topics such as aviation in humanitarian operations, development cooperation, technical challenges in extreme regions or sustainable development.

Pupils taking action

A fundraising campaign run by pupils

When pupils want to make a difference themselves, they can do so in very concrete ways: fundraising at school fairs, cake sales, sponsored runs or Christmas markets.

We support you and your class with material, ideas and stories you can use in your campaign. Afterwards we show your pupils what their commitment has achieved. That way young people learn early on: I can change something.

Commitment that pays off

Your benefits

When your school gets involved with MAF, you benefit in the following ways:

Fits into Lehrplan 21

MAF's work can be integrated into lessons on "Sustainable development" and "Nature, people, society".

Free of charge

School visits, teaching materials and advice: we provide it all free of charge. You invest the time, we bring the knowledge.

Passing on values

We show how responsibility, compassion and global thinking are lived out. That leaves a lasting mark on young people.

Motivation through self-efficacy

Realising that they can make a difference strengthens pupils' commitment, self-confidence and social skills.

Strengthening the class community

Shared campaigns bring people together. Whether a sponsored run or a project week, every pupil works towards a common goal.

Learning project management

In fundraising campaigns, pupils plan, organise and reflect: skills that matter at school and in life.

Delivering vital help together

Partner organisations

With more than 1,500 local, national and international partner organisations, we bring help to places it would otherwise never reach, and change lives together.

"The excitement in pupils' eyes when a pilot talks about her missions is priceless. That is what brings lessons to life, and young people understand: I can be part of the solution."
