Covid-19 emergency support

The measures to contain the Covid-19 pandemic have had effects on the education and mental health of children and young people, particularly those with socially disadvantaged living conditions. For this reason, Deutsche Bahn Foundation has initiated the emergency support program “Mind the gap – making up for learning lags and strengthening mental health.” Through this program, it supports four projects that are aimed at making up for the enormous learning lags while taking into account the mental impacts of the pandemic on young people, strengthening mental health and motivation and countering the loss of social skills. In addition, Deutsche Bahn Foundation increased its support to projects to counteract the polarization of society, hate and violence.
