Theodor-Heuss-Kolleg

A program of the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the MitOst e.V.

Working together for a living democracy

This college of the Robert Bosch Stiftung was named after the first president of the Federal Republic of Germany, Theodor Heuss, and serves to encourage young people from Central and Southeastern Europe and Central Asia to play an active social and political role and help develop democratic structures. Students at the Theodor-Heuss-Kolleg are supported for one year. They attend international summer seminars to acquire practical skills and knowledge and develop project ideas. Project scholarships are subsequently awarded to the students submitting the best ideas. Fellows are assisted by mentors in implementing their projects and are offered additional education programs. Specially qualified fellows with an interest in civic education can qualify as THK seminar trainers in a three-year training program.
The program's operating organization is MitOst e.V.
