Sir Peter Ustinov Foundation
Our network
The great Ustinov idea
A global commitment for children, education and against prejudice.
In addition to our sponsorship projects, we also work together with Ustinov College Durham in England in the field of education and are committed to promoting a culture of respect with the Ustinov Institute in Vienna. Sir Peter and Igor Ustinov’s great idea of countering prejudice with education and creativity is therefore alive and well around the world and is supported by the many partners of the Ustinov Network.
Sir Peter Ustinov Schools
Seven schools in Germany with a big name.
The Peter Ustinov School in Berlin Charlottenburg is a secondary school in the form of an integrated secondary school (ISS). European, modern and contemporary, this school attaches great importance to openness, understanding, humour and fun in learning. Since 2017/2018, the Peter Ustinov School has been labelled ‘Excellent European Education’. Special highlights: bilingual lessons, workshops for wood, metal and textiles, a teaching kitchen and theatre as a school subject.
The Peter Ustinov School in Eckernförde is a comprehensive school where all school-leaving qualifications can be obtained. The central task of teaching is to support pupils in developing their skills. Subject and social skills are not only essential for their future careers, they also help children in their private lives, in mastering everyday challenges and in shaping their personalities. This prepares them for participation in later social and political life and makes them responsible citizens.
The Peter Ustinov School in Essen is a community primary school with an open all-day programme. The schoolyards, which have been redesigned as an active playground, offer the children plenty of space to climb and play, explore their surroundings and learn. In the 2012/2013 school year, the school opened up to ‘joint learning’ and currently supports 19 children with various special educational needs.
Since the 2016/17 school year, the Peter Ustinov School in Hanover has been a secondary school with a part-time all-day programme on three weekdays. The school prides itself on being a colourful, multicultural school: Teachers and staff are also bilingual and help, explain, translate and support in Arabic, Bulgarian, German, English, French, Greek, Kurdish, Kurmanci, Persian/Dari, Polish, Romani, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Sorani, Spanish, Turkish and Urdu.
The Peter Ustinov School in Hude works with a diverse programme tailored to pupils. On the one hand, the pupils and their individual abilities are at the centre of learning support - on the other hand, social skills are also promoted through prevention work and the consistent adherence to and enforcement of the rules and agreements that apply at the school. The Peter Ustinov School in Hude sees itself as a European school and is firmly committed to the subject. There are exchange programmes with Poland and France, and more are planned with Italy and Lithuania.
The Peter Ustinov School is a secondary school in Cologne that supports pupils in their personal development and offers them the opportunity to independently recognise their weaknesses and strengths. In the spirit of peaceful coexistence and in the course of European integration, it is particularly important that the future co-creators of this society recognise not only their own feelings, needs and interests in interpersonal relationships, but also those of others.
The Peter Ustinov Comprehensive School has been in existence since 1982 and, with its lower and upper secondary levels, has developed into an important pillar of the Monheim school landscape. The Peter Ustinov School in Monheim sees itself as a colourful school in which everyone can find a place and develop according to their abilities. In addition to the aspect of ‘health’, ‘educational equity’ and ‘media education’ play a key role in the school concept.
