Today i want to introduce you to a project that is very important to me! It is called Teach First Germany and follows the model of the uk based idea of teach first (see wikipedia). I don’t know if one could really call it social entrepreneurship but I would do so!
Teach First was first introduced to me by Simon Turschner during a summer school in Guidel in 2008. For the last 2 years he has been working as a fellow teacher with teach first and has just helped to create this video:

I think the video speaks for itself!
Last year I applied for Teach First Germany. I am very happy about their effort and think it is a project that needs support! When I got accepted to my PhD program I decided to drop out of the application process which was everything but easy to decide. Even though I put the PhD over teach first at that time, this programm is still very important to me and I can perfectly see myself applying again after finnishing my PhD. I would also like to encourage you to consider applying at teach first!
Last but not least I want to thank all the fellows especially Simon at teach first for making this effort and commitment. You guys are great! We need more people like you!
