Our achievements for animal welfare
A balanced animal welfare education is the best foundation for propagating lifelong good practice in caring for animals and therefore contributes to their wellbeing. The strong demand for a solid animal welfare education is evidenced by the increasing popularity of our materials.
A study completed in 2017 entitled "Success factors of the animal welfare association 'Tierschutz macht Schule'" highlights the association's work and structure in order to serve as a source of inspiration for similar international initiatives and European legislation.
Education of children and young people
Our greatest achievements are our results in educating children and young people.
- Since 2007 we have distributed over 961,200 copies of our teaching materials.
- About 3,500 schools and educational institutions throughout Austria have ordered our products since our foundation in 2006.
- More than 16,900 students have taken part in our hands-on Pet Buddy workshops and our expert-led animal welfare classes.

However, the increased number of brochure orders and participants in events such as further education courses and trade fairs bears witness to a growing interest in a balanced and professional animal welfare education in the adult population:

- Around 6,300 people have proactively ordered our materials.
- Numerous educators and adults have participated in different workshops organised by our association.

- In 2020 alone we reached out to 2,800 people through our newsletter.
- Through our presence at events and trade fairs we were able to approach numerous individuals and inform them about our workings.
