An Advent calendar has been a cherished part of the Christian Advent tradition since the 19th century, marking the countdown to Christmas. In Germany, it is a beloved custom for most children to receive one, filled with sweets, toys, or other surprises hidden behind each door.

But it doesn’t always have to be chocolate!

Our GiKaD Advent calendar, featuring stories about our scholarship recipients and activities, brings joy to the Christmas season with inspiring and heartwarming stories. Open the door corresponding to each day; the doors will not open if the date has not yet arrived.

We hope you enjoy opening the 24 little doors and wish you a wonderful journey to Christmas!
