EDV – Erkenne die Vielfalt (Recognise the Diversity).
 |
Nowadays many children feel emotionally insecure, which can often be seen in behavioural disorders. This can sometimes lead to the exclusion of children with such conduct patterns – they are left out of things. New experiences that really get to someone can shake up old behavioural patterns and shape relationships anew. Music is one way of promoting new relationship structures. Playing music together consolidates the feeling of togetherness and gives the individual an emotional security within the group and it raises self-esteem. “MUSIKUZ – Musik, die Kunst des Zusammenlebens” - “MUSIKZ – Music, the art of living together” is a foundation without legal capacity which deals with the topic of strengthening children’s self-worth.
School kids in the 8th Grade who come from a disadvantaged background can benefit from a wide range of programmes until they start off in working life. The programme goes by the title of “EDV – Erkenne die Vielfalt” – “Recognise the Diversity”. Apart from the project’s musical contents “beats instead of beating”, sumo wrestling is also on offer as a physical contest with fair rules and regulations. The effect of body language plays a very important part here. Tutors from the Theatre Academy also show the students the effects of space – depth – breathing – voice – presence and presentation. The Auerbach Foundation supports this integrative educational programme with artistic elements in order to raise the possibilities of disadvantaged kids finding their place in the working world.
About the Auerbach Foundation
The aim of the Auerbach Foundation is to provide help and support for people on a lasting basis.
To be able to grasp a situation we first have to understand it. And with this understanding we can, within the scope of our project funding, provide an impetus, and that is the first step in helping people to help themselves.
With its charitable and social donations the Auerbach Foundation minimises financial, spiritual, mental and physical hardship. It also seeks to create avenues for art, culture and science and, in doing so, to safeguard values, such as security and creativity.
In concrete terms this means:
- Funding people:
youth aid, aid for the old, aid for the disabled, development aid
- Funding education and socialisation
- Funding science and research
- Funding art and culture
The Auerbach Foundation was founded in 2005 by the Avira GmbH partner, Tjark Auerbach and finances its projects from donations.
Anyone buying the software Avira AntiVir Premium or Avira Premium Security Suite in the Avira online shop, makes a contribution of five euros per product to the Foundation projects.
In 2008 a total of approximately € 800,000 will go to benefit social and cultural projects.
