In its mission statement Deutsche Telekom Stiftung states the following: ""The prerequisite for leading a self-determined life, having a career and taking part in civil society is understanding social and professional change processes and actively helping to shape them. In future our world will be more globalized and culturally more diverse, with digitization as well as science and technology playing a greater role. The reflective use of digital media and sound skills in the STEM subjects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics are becoming ever more significant.""
