About Stiftung éducation21

Stiftung éducation21 is Switzerland’s national competence centre for Education for Sustainable Development (BNE/ESD), and it primarily funds school-based and teacher-education projects that help embed sustainability across teaching and school culture. Its support is very practice-oriented: it backs innovative classroom sequences, whole-school approaches, participatory projects, and new teaching materials or learning formats that can be used in Swiss schools and teacher training. The funder is especially distinctive for combining grantmaking with field-building work through School Network21 and for focusing on implementation, not just theory.

Giving Approach

Primarily small-to-moderate, program-specific grants with clear thematic scopes; some calls are annual and deadline-based (e.g., 30 April for FH BNE), while others are targeted to educators and researchers in Swiss teacher-training institutions. Support appears to be application-based rather than open-ended, with an emphasis on implemented school projects and innovation in pedagogical practice.
