Educational Initiative

100 Champions

Bringing youth and businesses together since 2016!

The aim of our education initiative is to support young people in their development. We achieve this together with social players such as companies, state institutions, clubs and associations.

What began in 2016 with the "100 champions for your region" education initiative has since enabled over 1,700 young people to take part in champion courses. This has given them sustainable support on their way to the next stage of their lives. For us, champions are people who set themselves personal, worthwhile goals and achieve them with commitment.

It remains our goal to support young people in their development into self-confident, committed and value-oriented individuals. That is why we are launching the "100 Champions" education initiative again in 2024 and look forward to your support. For more information on the topic and to keep up to date with the activities of our initiative and its partners, follow our Educational Initiative "100 Champions" on LinkedIn.

Information for Partners

YOUTH GLOBE's mission is to engage diverse societal forces (businesses, government institutions, foundations, and private individuals) as partners of the initiative.
As a partner, you have multiple ways to support the initiative:

OPTION 1

You enable your apprentices or young employees to participate in the "ChampionsTour."

Young employees in your own environment lead to more effective work and thus faster achievement of goals. Past experiences with course participants show that conflicts in companies are reduced, the work atmosphere improves, and the performance of young employees increases. The course participants have a positive influence that also affects older colleagues. The convincing presence of course graduates extends beyond company boundaries and helps strengthen a positive corporate image.

OPTION 2

You sponsor participation in the "ChampionsTour" for students or pupils with the goal of recruiting new employees.

Is your organization looking for new talent? By sponsoring the participation of students/pupils, you get the opportunity to support young people in their development while also securing future apprentices or employees.

Through our media partners, our own communication channels (e.g., Facebook), and—if available—your own channels, the sponsored spots will be advertised. At the same time, you will receive posters to display in your premises, highlighting the participation opportunity. You can (if you wish) select the participants and accompany their course attendance as a sponsor. There will be joint discussion rounds (as part of evaluating the participants' progress), and upon request, special tasks (such as lectures or presentations) related to the sponsor can be assigned during the course. You will witness the development process of the young individuals and gain a practical impression of their skills and abilities. As a sponsor, you benefit from access to the young champions, as well as from the external impact of your commitment in the region.

OPTION 3

You sponsor participation in the "ChampionsTour" for students or pupils with the goal of supporting schools, projects, or specific groups in your region.

Is supporting young people in your region a matter close to your heart? By sponsoring course participants, you directly contribute to their personal development. We will coordinate with you to determine which target groups you particularly want to support—whether it’s students, young people in difficult circumstances, or simply individuals from your sphere of influence. If desired, you can help select the participants, and we’ll gladly assist you in the process.
In recent months, we have secured co-funding for sponsors from various social sectors (e.g., employment agencies). We will assess on a case-by-case basis whether this is possible for your sponsorship.

OPTION 4

You support the realization of the course and / or the marketing activities of the initiative.

For the realization of our courses we look for special places and we strive to find extraordinary compositions of the YOUTH GLOBE events. We invite magnificent speakers for our presentations and fascinate our participants with great venues. We are looking for interesting partners which enrich our highlights like the Awarding Ceremony and the Championsnight. It is our idea to offer presentations of special companies in advance of the Championsnight. There is a large variety of ways to present yourself, be it presentations of new products or interesting concepts for young people. We are looking forward to exchange ideas personally.

OPTION 5

With the usage of the Glober-App young people invest in their education. You acknowledge their engagement with the Glober-Bonus.

The Glober-App promotes the personal development of the participants in a holistic way. Participants are prompt to deal with values and goals in all areas of life. The continuous pursuit of the achievement of milestones is incentive and recognition at the same time. The usage of the app positively influences the professional life. With the Glober-Bonus you acknowledge the engagement of the participants.Lerne die Partner unserer Bildungsinitiative hier kennen!

The decisive factor for our participation decision was that our trainees were taught practical topics such as setting priorities, planning the right activities, and their goal-oriented, effective implementation.

EWe were surprised by how effectively our trainees could adapt the course content to daily practice in vocational training. Positive behavioral changes in areas such as self-confidence, communication skills, teamwork, and self-motivation serve as clear examples of this.

For this reason, we see the "MOC" course as an opportunity to recognize good training performance through participation.

Hendrik Schipp, HR Manager GlaxoSmithKline

I eagerly awaited the first LMI course for our two apprentices and am pleased to confirm that, from today's perspective, the decision to take this step has fully met my initial hopes.
Entscheidung für diese Maßnahme aus heutiger Sicht meine damaligen Hoffnungen voll erfüllt hat.

Our apprentices also started the course with some skepticism, which made it all the more rewarding to see their positive feedback during the final presentation at our company.

Your course played a significant role in helping our apprentices gain even more self-confidence and optimize their work methods through the techniques they learned.

I was particularly impressed by the development of their presentation skills—both participants made very encouraging progress in a short time.

For this reason, I am very glad that we have decided to enroll our two new apprentices, who will start in August this year, in your program once again..

Ralf Wilms, Head of HR Evangelische Darlehnsgenossenschaft eG

After completing the course with two young employees from the brewery, we would like to share our impressions with you. The course has had a positive impact on both participants. We have observed noticeable changes in their work approach and demeanor—tasks are now handled with greater focus, and their presence has become more confident.

Their interactions with colleagues have also improved, enhancing their professional image. Both contribute to a better working atmosphere.

What we particularly appreciate is that they have learned a systematic process that helps them achieve their goals. This is evident in their increased motivation, even when working on long-term or less exciting projects—they no longer lose enthusiasm.

In summary, the effort has been well worth it. Both the employees and the company are equally satisfied.

Michael Seip, Manager IT & Controlling Flensburger Brauerei

Thru out the course, we were able to see that the participants were working on their own goals and, in addition to their school performance, had developed clear career planning and improved manners.

Bundesagentur für Arbeit

During the course, we as a school were able to identify a clear change in behavior among the participants right from the start of the course. The course participants worked on their own wishes and goals within the scope of their possibilities. In addition to a significant increase in school performance, we were able to determine clear career planning and significantly improved SOFT SKILLS. I was particularly impressed that the young people felt much more confident and participated more actively in the lessons and other activities. The clearest indication of the success of the course is the achievement of the secondary school leaving certificate, as well as the successful application of the participants for jobs or further vocational training.

Participant Feedback

Jannes Füssel, participant of the Champions Tour

The course inspired me. Rarely do you learn so much in such a short time: real desires, wishes, dreams, goals, true commitment and much more. However, it was also very exhausting to work on the topic and on oneself every day. My everyday life was full to the brim and yet I have never been able to experience so much in any other year. The most important thing for me was getting to know my own body and character with its strengths and weaknesses. This is the only way I can overcome obstacles and fears and face new challenges. The course helped me to achieve my goals: I wrote the best thesis at my school, not only financed my tour of Germany in the summer, but also my driver's license.
My tip: Be motivated and enthusiastic. Challenge yourself and let yourself be surprised!

Carolin Plocher

I experienced the Champions course as a discovery and expression of my personality and my goals. I've discovered dreams I didn't even know I had. During the course I was able to convert these into goals and successfully achieve them. I have learned to face challenges, overcome obstacles and never give up. In addition, I have become clear about my strengths and my potential. This change was also visible to my family and friends. You've noticed how committed I am to my goals and I never give up. So my tip to you: believe in yourself and define your goals, because that's the only way you can achieve them and be successful!

Lena Skok

The course itself was great! On the one hand, you get good tools for self-management and you are also taught how to use it properly. And on the other hand, you learn a lot on a social level, you become more aware of how you deal with your fellow human beings and of yourself. Personally, I think the program has immense potential for everyone if used effectively. So my tip would be to give the program a chance and get involved if you haven't already. In any case, so far I have not regretted having participated and benefit now and probably for the rest of my life from much of what I learned.
