Big final concert of the education project “RevierOrgeln” in Essen
For adults, the organ is the queen of instruments. For children ears it is mostly strange – big, thundering, serious. But almost every church, every concert hall has such an artistically finished instrument: a high-tech masterpiece dating back to ancient times.

“Skill at handling prejudices”
The Ustinov Institute in Vienna has published a new practical guide for primary schools
Welcome to the Peter Ustinov Foundation
Greetings from the Executive Board and the Foundation Board
When Sir Peter Ustinov founded this Foundation, he had a
very special mission in mind: He wanted to help where support
is needed most. This above all means children who cannot help
themselves and thus represent the weakest members of society.
He personally chose project partners who perform important
on-site work, whether in small organisations or as 'lone warriors'. In joint cooperation with these partners, we are committed to relieve the misery and to give the poorest the chance of living a life in dignity and with perspectives.
At the same time, Sir Peter included his legacy into the
Foundation's statutes: In his opinion, prejudices are one reason for the existence of misery and distress. The fight against prejudices is a fight for more humanity in this world.
Help us by supporting our projects. You can contribute to abating prejudice and to forming a human society, too.
Yours sincerely,
the Executive Board and the Foundation Board
of the Peter Ustinov Foundation
