Joint sponsorship of a new student by WICM GmbH and IHK Wiesbaden announced
WiesPaten Project Celebrates 15th Anniversary, Aims to Empower Young People
The WiesPaten project, a student sponsorship initiative based in Wiesbaden, Germany, is celebrating its 15th anniversary this year. This project, which focuses on providing intensive small group instruction for young people, has been supported by student teachers, Wiesbaden companies, and educational institutions for over a decade.
The WiesPaten project offers a unique opportunity for young people to receive concrete support, fostering their participation and improving their future prospects. By creating equal opportunities and helping them on their individual educational and career paths, the project aims to make a significant difference in the lives of its participants.
One of the key contributors to the WiesPaten project is WICM GmbH, a company that has sponsored the program for several years. Simon Rottloff, a representative from WICM, believes that the project provides a valuable change of perspective and firsthand insights into the minds of young people. He views the partnership as a "win-win situation" for pupils, student mentors, and the sponsoring company itself, emphasizing the importance of sustainability and responsibility.
Another significant supporter of the WiesPaten project is the IHK Wiesbaden (Wiesbaden Chamber of Industry and Commerce). The IHK views the project as an important extension of its career guidance and training efforts, reflecting its commitment to education and youth development. Sabine Meder, Managing Director of IHK Wiesbaden, stresses that the involvement of the business community in such initiatives is crucial for promoting young talent and ensuring more equal opportunities for youths.
The partnership between WICM GmbH and the Wilhelm-Leuschner School in Kostheim is a testament to the long-term commitment of both parties to the WiesPaten project. Over the years, participating students have visited various locations such as the RheinMain CongressCenter, attended events like "Wiesbaden on Ice" at the Kurhaus Wiesbaden, and received support for their final presentations. The project culminates in the WiesPaten summer festival, a celebration of the achievements of the participants.
The relationships within WiesPaten are based on trust and appreciation, with regular meetings held between students, student teachers, and employees of the two sponsoring institutions. Citizens can contact the responsible department or office with any questions regarding WiesPaten, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to learn more about this valuable project.
As the WiesPaten project celebrates its 15th anniversary, it continues to make a positive impact on the lives of young people in Wiesbaden. By providing academic support and shared experiences, the project is helping to create a brighter future for its participants and fostering talent development in the community.
