Partner and Buddy Evening 2024: BILLA celebrates the successful completion of the "Lernen macht Schule" study year
Supporting socially disadvantaged children and young people on their educational path - "Lernen macht Schule" is dedicated to this mission. For more than 14 years, the joint initiative of Caritas Vienna, Vienna University of Economics and Business and BILLA has involved students as learning, music and sports buddies, helping young people to learn, organise their free time together or sing together in the "Lernen macht Schule" children's choir. To honour the commitment of 130 students this semester, the project partners organised a partner and buddy evening in the Caritas Brunnenpassage at the end of the academic year.
