The fund works as a sponsoring foundation. It fosters projects that serve the purposes of better understanding among peoples, the interests of survivors of the National Socialist regime, youth exchange, social justice, remembrance of the threat posed by totalitarian systems and despotism, and international cooperation in humanitarian endeavours.

Shaping diversity with intercultural competence - this is the principle of the association Ethnologie in Schule und Erwachsenenbildung (ESE) e.V. (Ethnology in Schools and Adult Education), which was founded in 1992 by ethnologists and educators.

The basis for ESE's work is the scientific examination of approaches to teaching intercultural competence, intercultural education and intercultural upbringing, as well as the processing of ethnological material in order to be able to convey scientifically sound information about other cultures and about mechanisms of intercultural understanding in a way that is understandable to lay people.

With our offer in adult education, we address all people who have contact with people from different cultures in their everyday life and work and who would like more background information and competence to act.

In children's and youth education, we offer intercultural and global learning for different subject areas. Our units are suitable for project days, holiday programmes or short teaching units.
