Educational Initiative

100 Champions

Bringing youth and businesses together since 2016!

Latest information on LinkedIn Current dates for our info events

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.

Supporting young people in their development is the goal of our Educational Initiative "100 Champions". You can find out how we achieve this goal together with our partners in our explanatory video.

Let Andrés Jamauca explain the concept of the Champions Tour to you, so that your employees and thus your company can develop together to stand out from the competition and simply be successful.

From our point of view it was essential that our apprentices take advantage
of guidance in the fields of e.g. time management, conflict management
and priority-setting. We were surprised by how the lessons learned quickly
flowed into everyday practice, with evident benefits for our company. We
noted clear improvements in the quality of communication, levels of selfconfidence,
team spirit and self-motivation. We regard participation in
the “MOC” course as a reward for high on-the-job performance, and as a
useful stepping-stone on the career path of our best young people.

Hendrik Schipp, HR Manager GlaxoSmithKline

From the beginning I was very curious to see whether the LMI course
would leave a mark on our two apprentices. I can now say that my hopes
were not disappointed.
Initially, our boys were rather sceptical and so I was particularly pleased
to note how enthusiastic they were when presenting the final results at
the end of the course. They have clearly gained in self-motivation and in
the quality of their work. In particular, the quality of their presentations
has vastly improved within a very short space of time, reflecting a
substantial improvement in self-confidence. The excellent results
therefore prompted me to reserve two more MOC places for both our
new apprentices who will start with us in the coming month of August.

Ralf Wilms, Leiter Personal Evangelische Darlehnsgenossenschaft eG

Two of our apprentices participated in a pilot course, and we can confirm
that we are very satisfied with the results.
We have noticed a positive development in their attitude and in the
quality of their work. They are far more self-motivated, self-assured and
goal-driven than was the case before. Improved teamwork and working
atmosphere is the result, and we have noticed that they are now far more
inclined to adopt a systematic approach in order to attain the goals we
set them – this is all the more apparent when long-term goals need to be
reached, especially concerning less interesting projects where a high risk
exists that interest might falter in a younger individual.
All in all we can say that sending our apprentices to the MOC course was
well worthwhile, from the participant’s and the company’s point of view.

Michael Seip, Leiter 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.

Information for Partners

It is of importance for YOUTH GLOBE to win many social forces (companies, state institutions, foundations, as well as private individuals) as partners of the initiative.

As a partner, you have several options to support the initiative:

OPTION 1

For your trainees you enable the participation in the “Championstour”.

A young workforce causes efficiency gains and thereby fosters goal-achievement. Experiences with former participants provide striking evidence for the reduction of conflicts, an improved working atmosphere and better performance of young employees. At this occasion the participants positively influence the older workforce. The charism of our graduates works across the boundaries of the company and manifests in an improved firm-image.

OPTION 2

You sponsor the participation for pupils and students in the „Championstour“. By that you attract highly qualified employees.

We provide multi-channel (e.g. Facebook, Instagram, your own channels) announcement of available places in the course.

Our services include many add-ons, such as:
•   Posters which refer to the possibility of participation in our courses which you can show in your premises.
•   Joint discussions with subsequent assessments of the likelihood to be successful.
•   Inclusion of special tasks (e.g. presentations) related to your company into the course.
•   Much more is imaginable. Feel free to contact us for further information.

You observe the personal development of young people and get impressions about their practical capabilities. Your benefits are the direct access to young Champions and an increased image within your region.

OPTION 3

You sponsor the participation for pupils and students in the „Championstour“. The aim of your engagement is to support schools, projects or particular groups within your region.

It is a matter close to your heart to support young people of your region? With the sponsoring of the participation in a course you immediately support their personal development. Together with you we define the target group, be it pupils, young people with precarious living conditions or persons in your specific environment. Depending on your personal requirements you can choose the participants alone or we will support you. Under certain circumstances we can organize co-financing for your sponsorship from certain societal actors (e.g. employment agencies). Please contact us so that we can check available opportunities individually.

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.

Ambassadors of the initiative

Margit Lieverz
Die Freisprecherin –
Moderator, media trainer, speaker and coach

There is such a thing as the right moment: when we are open to suggestions that we pick up. A remark on the radio, a special sentence in a conversation with a friend, a picture in a show. As an actress, I want to inspire people, make viewers think and sometimes "step out of character".

As an ambassador for the YOUTH GLOBE educational initiative "100 Champions", I can now also help even more young people to become champions in their own lives with the ChampionsTour.

I have known the organizers of the ChampionsTour for almost 10 years and am delighted to have been appointed ambassador for this special initiative.

I am part of it!

Bernhard Schwager
Environmental verifier, energy auditor and author of specialist books

I am absolutely convinced of the importance of sustainability. Education plays an outstanding role here in particular. But knowledge alone is far too little. It is essential that we also take action. That's why we need to set ourselves goals that we pursue consistently in all areas of life.

I am particularly keen to be involved as an ambassador for the YOUTH GLOBE education initiative "100 Champions", so that many more young and committed people can get their hands on a sophisticated toolbox for their own development into champions with the ChampionsTour. This provides the best starting conditions!

I have been observing the positive development and excellent results of this great initiative for many years. I am therefore delighted to have been appointed as an ambassador for YOUTH GLOBE.

I am very happy to be part of it!

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.
