Funding projects for young tradespeople

Learning in a pragmatic way

The Sto Foundation supports young people in their training as painters or plasterers. We pay particular attention to those who are socially disadvantaged or in need of financial support, but who are also role models for others thanks to their above-average performance.

We want to promote the professional training and personal development of graduates in equal measure. Today's educational landscape urgently needs impulses that bring theory, practice and the construction industry together on a constructive level of dialog and common interests. In this way, new products can emerge from close cooperation between planning, building contractors and the building materials industry, whereby experimental initiatives are often required. We assign these projects to our guiding principle "Head & Hand", which promotes communication between architecture and craftsmanship.
