What We Support

Project Insights

The goal of our public relations work is to make our current activities and exemplary projects more visible. That’s why the people and initiatives that we support take center stage, both in our print publications and on our website. Lighthouse projects both large and small are given a special place.

Here, we provide short updates that reveal current happenings among our projects. In addition, we present in-depth reports and interviews that create a vivid picture of the initiatives that our foundation is privileged to enable and support.

To make this possible, our public relations team visits many of the projects together with the responsible project managers and gets to know the organizations and people on location.

We hope that these reports, in text and image, help to orient engaged individuals regarding possible support from the Software AG Foundation (SAGST) – and encourage them to tread new paths.


Almost 11 million schoolchildren throughout Germany have been working in their “home office” since mid-March. For a major part of them, learning during the coronavirus pandemic takes place within their own four walls, isolated from their classmates. Digital media are frequent companions during tuition and leisure time. The young people first have to learn to use them responsibly – not only in the current exceptional situation. Screen-free times included.


“Inspiration Biene” (Bee an Inspiration) explores the various connections between bees and education. The project, which includes teaching materials and a textbook, ranges freely in its thinking across disciplines and thus contributes to the dialogue between science and living nature.


In an era of home schooling and the increasing transfer of online knowledge, the result of a scientific study of 266 kindergarten children and primary school pupils should make us sit up and take notice. The imaginative power of three to nine-year olds developed more slowly, the longer they used screen media on a daily basis.


Waldorf schools are urgently looking for new talent. Every year, around 600 new teachers are needed nationwide. Two students from Alanus University in Alfter near Bonn report on how the part-time master’s degree course in Pedagogy/Waldorf Education is preparing them for their careers as schoolteachers.


An expanded farm shop with a café opens up additional areas of activity and training options for residents of the Fleckenbühler community near Marburg. This benefits people with addiction disorders as well as visitors who can shop or enjoy a coffee here in a relaxed atmosphere.
