Workshop opens in Kharkiv, Urkaine

The first phase of construction at our new project location for the multiplication of painter training in Ukraine has been completed and the location has officially opened its doors.   All classrooms and facilities needed for theoretical and practical training, complete with a warehouse, offices for master craftsmen and bathroom facilities are now ready to use. The modernized vocational training program meets Western standards and will admit 28 students. During a second construction phase next year, the rooms for master painter training will be renovated and fully furnished. This project will be financed by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).  
Sabine Schöck
1937 - 2025

Together with her family, we mourn the loss of our long-standing Deputy Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees Sabine Schöck, who passed away on July 10, 2025 at the age of 87.

Sabine Schöck played a key role in shaping the work of our foundation from the very beginning.

International understanding was very close to her heart and her commitment to the people from Eastern Europe who were our guests was characterized by great humanity and warmth.

Sabine Schöck's impulses will always be part of our work.
