Projekt Lilie Gala Evening 2009

Projekt Lilie held its Gala Evening to recognise and reqard outstanding teachers. Take a look at the gallery, here>>

Although Privatschule Karibib was closed in 1986, a Section 21 company (not for gain), Privatschule Karibib, owns the school and hostel buildings as well as a number of teachers’ houses in Karibib. A Board of Trustees consisting of Karibib Privatschule 'old boys' manages the company in the interests of education and the continuation of German education in Namibia.

The activities of the company include:

• Management of Privatschule Karibib assets
• Partnership with Navachab Gold Mine (a subsidiary of AngloGold) in operation of the new Karibib Private School
• Projekt Lilie, an initiative with the objective to support and promote education in Namibia, with special reference to the maintenance and advancement of the German language and culture.

Privatschule Karibib operates Projekt Lilie in cooperation with two umbrella organisations representing the interests of the German speaking community in education and culture in Namibia (Deutscher Kulturrat and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Schulen)

This project aims to recognise special achievements of teachers at schools that are members of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Deutscher Schulen and educational institutions such as UNAM and Windhoek College of Education.

It also aims to uplift the image of teachers in our community in order to attract young aspirants into this profession and to entice existing teachers to stay in the profession.

The project culminates in an annual awards gala evening at which the winners are awarded substantial sums in prize money and receive valuable plaques and certificates.
