Social commitment
A personal idea in Neumarkt has grown into a reliable educational structure: Zukunft Lesen Stiftung gGmbH provides the organizational framework, Kolibris Leseecke opens the door to books and stories for children, and the Kolibri 56 reading club makes reading promotion a regular experience.
Education · Reading Promotion · Participation
Personal commitment has developed into an independent, non-profit and long-term structure.
Zukunft Lesen Stiftung gGmbH
It did not begin with the desire to found another organization. It began with a concrete observation: children need accessible places where books, stories and language are not associated solely with lessons, assessment and performance.
This conviction first led to the idea for Kolibris Leseecke. As the project grew, it became clear that effective educational work needed its own legal, organizational and commercial foundation.
Zukunft Lesen Stiftung gGmbH performs this role. It supports the operational project work and creates the framework for operating spaces, planning events, forming partnerships and developing new services.
Reading promotion needs time, people and funding. Zukunft Lesen Förderverein e. V. was established to create a sustainable and reliable basis for supporting the work of Zukunft Lesen Stiftung gGmbH, which initiates practical reading-promotion projects.
An idea creates lasting impact
Children should be able to discover books without grades, performance pressure or their families’ financial means deciding whether they can do so.
Turning this commitment into a lasting service requires more than books and good intentions. It requires accessible spaces, regular activities, reliable partnerships, sustainable financing and people who take responsibility.
Zukunft Lesen Stiftung gGmbH
The non-profit company is the legal and organizational body behind the project work. It develops educational services, operates projects, forms partnerships and lays the foundation for long-term implementation.
Nicole and Houman Feldberger are the volunteer founders and Managing Directors of the non-profit company.
Zukunft Lesen Förderverein e. V.
The non-profit association supports the work of the gGmbH through advocacy, funding and organizational assistance. It brings together memberships, donations and volunteer support.
Nicole and Houman Feldberger serve on the association’s board in a voluntary capacity.
Kolibris Leseecke
A freely accessible space in the centre of Neumarkt where children and families can discover books, experience stories, be creative and take books home.
The Feldberger family founded the reading corner and provides ongoing financial support.
Kolibri 56
An extracurricular reading club for children aged six to twelve. Reading, reading aloud, storytelling, creativity and shared experiences are connected.
Kolibri 56 was initiated by Zukunft Lesen Stiftung gGmbH and is a joint project with external partners.
Kolibris Leseecke
A colourful place has been created in the centre of Neumarkt where children can discover books without school assessment or performance pressure taking centre stage.
Kolibris Leseecke is neither a traditional library nor remedial tuition. It is an open meeting place where children can read, listen, tell stories, play, make things and experience stories with all their senses.
Children and families can browse the shelves, read on site and take favourite books home free of charge. No registration is required to take a book.
Discover freely · experience together · take home free of charge
Reading promotion and sustainability
Books should not disappear unused in boxes, basements or cupboards when they can still give many stories to other children.
Our work is guided by the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Our volunteer projects contribute particularly to Goals 4 and 12:
Donated children’s and young adult books are checked, sorted and added to the shelves. Well-preserved books for children and young people aged zero to 16 are welcome, including books in other languages.
Well-preserved books are donated instead of being discarded or stored unused.
Volunteers check the books and assign them to suitable topics and age groups.
Children can browse the shelves without an ID card, fee or membership.
Favourite books may be taken home and kept free of charge.
Free of charge · ages 6 to 12 · registration required

Kolibri 56 is a regular extracurricular reading club for children aged six to twelve. Participation is free and requires prior registration.
The reading club is not limited to silent reading. Stories are read aloud, discovered together, retold, explored creatively and used as a starting point for games, conversations and children’s own ideas.
Every child may participate at their own pace. What matters is not how quickly or flawlessly a child reads, but whether curiosity and enjoyment of stories develop.
Current times, available places and registration options are published on the project website.
Working together locally
A lasting educational service cannot be sustained by one person or organization alone.
Kolibri 56 is operated by Zukunft Lesen Stiftung gGmbH together with local and national partners, including SFZ Neumarkt and Stiftung Lesen.
Kolibri 56 – The Reading Club is provided by Zukunft Lesen Stiftung gGmbH and SFZ Neumarkt i.d.OPf. in cooperation with Stiftung Lesen.
It is funded through the German federal programme Kultur macht stark. Bündnisse für Bildung (2023–2027).
It bears legal and organizational responsibility, coordinates the project work and ensures reliable conditions.
The cooperation creates another permanent location for reading promotion and connects the project with existing local education structures.
The partnership connects local project work with professional support and a nationwide funding structure.
Why Veranto reports on this
The projects are not consulting services provided by Veranto. The connection lies in the people involved and a shared commitment: good ideas need clear goals, reliable responsibilities, sustainable structures and people who bring them to life every day.
