Our current foundation magazine

Building futures together

Building the future together: This is not only the motto of the PATRIZIA Foundation, but also the title of our new foundation magazine. With new PATRIZIA KinderHaus projects, we are creating future prospects for children and young people in countries where access to education is not yet a matter of course.

We are experiencing times of uncertainty. Alone, we cannot stop developments like the war in Ukraine, exploding energy prices or increasing geopolitical tensions all over the world. And yet each of us can make a contribution to ensuring that children and young people worldwide have a better future.

Building futures for children worldwide

Thanks to our foundation’s EduCare Europe Fund, over 500 traumatised children who had to flee Ukraine are receiving help – in Warsaw, Augsburg and other locations. In Mymensingh in Bangladesh, we offer families a way out of poverty through qualified care and early childhood education. And in Tanzania, we are creating space for quality education by expanding the primary school in Ndanda.

Sustainable help, scientifically evaluated

Many parties contribute to the creation of a PATRIZIA KinderHaus. We attach particular importance to the careful selection of partners as well as to our promise to operate each project for at least 25 years.

The scientific evaluation of PATRIZIA KinderHaus facilities confirms our approach: the schools, shelters and health facilities have an impact far beyond the individual project – on families, villages, cities and regions.

Volunteering for a good cause

Partners, sponsors, PATRIZIA employees: you are all part of the success of our projects. There are many ways to support PATRIZIA KinderHaus projects, whether as a CSR partner or through volunteering activities, in which more and more people are showing great commitment to the foundation. Simon Woolf, Chief HR Officer at PATRIZIA, explains how corporate volunteering and CSR can contribute to positive employer branding in an interview with Stiftungsmagazin.

A Musical Programme with Lasting Impact

Young musicians from the MiSST programme welcomed guest with an opening performance.

Throughout the evening, the students further captivated guests with their performances, including Adoration by Florence Price and selected pieces from The Phantom of the Opera.  

An Evening of Shared Vision and Personal Stories

In his welcoming speech, founder Wolfgang Egger talked about the importance of investing in young people and creating opportunities that allow them to thrive — academically, personally and socially. Ambassador Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber delivered a passionate speech on the importance of protecting arts education in the UK, particularly at a time when music and creative subjects continue to face significant cuts within the school system. He spoke movingly about the responsibility to ensure that every child, regardless of background, has access to creativity, culture and music education.

Chairwoman of the Board Astrid Gabler, together with Board Member James Muir, reflected on their recent visit to one of the programme’s partner schools. James shared how deeply a passionate music teacher had influenced him during his own school years and how this experience continues to shape his belief in the importance of the support in education infrastructure. 

Rachel Landon, CEO MiSST, brought the programme vividly to life through inspiring footage and powerful stories from participating students, offering guests a meaningful glimpse into the daily impact of the initiative.

 

One of the evening’s most memorable moments came from Rain Spiegel-Johnson, a former participant of the programme, who shared her personal story and reflected on the impact music education has had on her life. Growing up in a low-income household, opportunities to take part in extracurricular arts education were often out of reach, leaving her feeling excluded from experiences many others could access. Through MiSST, however, she discovered a creativity and confidence that had long remained hidden.

Speaking about her experience, she described music not only as a form of artistic expression, but also as a powerful sense of belonging:

“Through music, I discovered not only artistry, but the profound feeling of being part of an ensemble so unified, disciplined and unwaveringly beautiful.”

She also emphasized the broader importance of the programme, calling MiSST “an outstanding microcosm for the future of music and the arts in this country.”

Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who joined us and our Ambassador, Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, for the “Thrive Cubed with Music” evening in support of music education in the UK — and for your shared commitment to creating new opportunities for young people through the power of music!

PATRIZIA Music Programme

With the PATRIZIA Music Programme, the PATRIZIA Foundation continues its commitment to educational support and equal opportunities across Europe. The programme was established to provide children and young people from disadvantaged communities in the United Kingdom with access to high-quality music education and to open new pathways for their personal and academic development. In partnership with MiSST, the programme supports schools in Morecambe and Manchester by providing classical musical instruments, professional music tuition and regular performance opportunities. Over the course of three years, the PATRIZIA Foundation is funding 300 instruments, creating long-term access to cultural education and helping young people build brighter futures through the transformative power of music.
