Dear students, The future and training of young people are important to KWS as an international plant breeding company with roots in southern Lower Saxony. That is why we would like to give you an insight into the various exciting professional fields from IT to mechanics, electronics and commercial professions to plant technology. Last spring, the planned Future Day (Girls' Day and Boys' Day) had to be cancelled at short notice due to the coronavirus pandemic. Face-to-face events are not yet possible again this year either, as the prevention of a possible spread of infection remains the top priority. The state of Lower Saxony is therefore focussing on digital offerings and the Ministry of Education has called on companies to offer pupils a corresponding format as an alternative to the conventional Future Day.

The signs with the "forest gnome" show the way through the Einbeck city forest: families can plan their next visit to the forest on the Hube on a new children's hiking map. Which paths are there? Which ones are also suitable for pushchairs? Which places are there between Schwarzer Hütte, Köhlerhütte and Hubeparkplatz where you can take a break and learn a lot of new things? All of this is shown on the new forest map for children, which the "Waldzwerge" forest kindergarten has designed over the past few months.

The objectives and methods of modern plant breeding were the topic of the MINT-EC camp "Transgenic Plants", which was held at the XLAB - Göttingen Experimental Laboratory for Young People in autumn 2020. The participating students in grades 11-13 were released from lessons by their schools. Such MINT-EC schools throughout Germany have anchored the promotion of scientific excellence in their school profile and are certified for this. KWS in Einbeck, whose research and development department the participants visited during a half-day excursion, acted as a business partner for the camp.

At the beginning of 2020, the coronavirus pandemic reached Germany. Schools in our region were closed in mid-March and it quickly became clear that they needed support with digitalisation and the implementation of location-independent educational opportunities. It is a matter close to KWS' heart to provide children and young people with access to education even during the crisis. In MyGatekeeper, a still young, non-profit organisation from Hanover, KWS has found a competent partner to implement the common goal of increasing media skills at schools and creating a contemporary learning environment for pupils.

Every year, KWS organises a dialogue with representatives of various social groups at its location in Einbeck, where participants discuss issues relating to the company's development that are of interest to the region. The topics covered by this dialogue forum range from KWS' business development, modern agriculture and plant breeding to investments at the Einbeck location and the company's social commitment. Due to the current situation surrounding the corona pandemic, this year's dialogue forum, which thrives on personal exchange between all participants, could not take place in its usual form on KWS' company premises. For this reason, Dr. Peter Hofmann (Member of the Executive Board) and Stephan Krings (Head of Global Marketing & Communication) informed the participants in the form of a newsletter about the following topics that the company is currently dealing with.

Following the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, the organisation team at the "Einbecker Tafel" was at a loss. The organisation could no longer rely on many of the volunteers as they belonged to risk groups. At the same time, the "Einbecker Tafel" team was faced with countless new tasks, as hygiene concepts had to be adhered to. During this difficult time, employees from the Einbeck seed specialist KWS stepped in and helped quickly and unbureaucratically.
