The JA Comenius Foundation is a non-profit foundation established in 1991 to support children and young people in need.
The founder is the educational scientist Rainer Winkel , who provided his own funds for the foundation and in particular his father's legacy. It is named after the pedagogue Johann Amos Comenius and follows his principle: "omnes omnia omnino excoli" (Latin for "to teach everyone everything completely" or "to teach everyone everything in consideration of the whole"). The aim of the foundation is to support children and young people. This is done through "silent help", which benefit those in need and institutions that work in the interests of the Foundation, and through the awarding of the Comenius Prize .
Comenius Prize
The Foundation awards the Comenius Prize to people who have worked in the field of child and youth welfare in a special way. A special feature of the honor is that the prize money is not paid to the recipient of the award, but is passed on as support to persons or institutions that act in the interests of the recipient. In this way, the foundation fulfills its purpose of child and youth welfare by awarding the prize. The first eight winners received a Comenius statuette as a prize insignia ; since 2010 a Comenius medal and a glass picture have been awarded instead of the statuette .
