20. On March 21, 1995, in Giza, near Cairo, Egypt’s first public library was opened: the Giza Public Library. In planning it, Bertelsmann was able draw on its experience building the city library of Gütersloh, as well as the model library Can Torró in Spain. This knowledge was transposed to the realm of Arabic culture. The project continued with the opening of a branch library in the Cairo neighborhood Zaytoun. The library program is part of the educational initiative of the Egyptian government. In 1998 Egypt received the annual UNESCO award for the fight against illiteracy.
21. In 1977 Dr. Gerd Wixforth, a city councilor of Gütersloh, and Reinhard Mohn, the chair of Bertelsmann AG, developed the idea of building a new, exemplary library for Gütersloh. In March experts gathered for an open hearing to discuss how a modern library should be equipped. Representatives of the Bertelsmann Foundation and of the city of Gütersloh visited libraries in Scandinavia. The insights and experiences they gleaned were integrated into the project. On May 4, 1984, the City Library of Gütersloh, LLC, had its official opening. Since then, with the support of the Bertelsmann Foundation, it has actively helped shape and innovate library developments internationally.

23. With its German-Egyptian Cultural Forum, which took place on February 21, 2001, in Cairo, the Bertelsmann Foundation began a New Dialogue series on an international level. The forum was an opportunity for both countries to exchange their experiences of globalization and its resulting effects. See Liz Mohn, A Cultural Forum: Promoting Cultural Identity in the Age of Globalization: A German-Egyptian Experience (Gütersloh, 2002).
24. The goal of the project, which continued until December 2009, was to advance intercultural communication on all levels, in order to promote long-lasting corporate success around the world. The project was divided into the following areas of responsibility: corporate governance, intercompany cooperation, Chinese companies in Germany, and diversity management.

31. In 1995 Reinhard Mohn founded the Fundación Bertelsmann, based in Barcelona, to support the Spanish media and book culture, aid public libraries in Spain, and help with continuing education for the leadership staff. The Fundación Bertelsmann uses proven models for public library reform in Germany as its reference—for example, the city library in Gütersloh. The Bertelsmann Foundation’s involvement in Spain began in 1989 with the founding of the model library Can Torró in Alcúdia on Majorca. To provide for construction, on December 29, 1988, the city of Alcúdia and the Bertelsmann Foundation founded the Fundacíon Biblioteca de Alcúdia. The library’s main focus was to promote literacy among children and youth through the close collaboration with schools. This project was successfully completed, and management of the library was handed over to the city of Alcúdia. With its library program, the Fundación Bertelsmann aims to establish new administrative methods in public libraries, promote reading among the population, provide access to information, and ensure the continuing education of librarians.
32. The Fundación Bertelsmann was founded in 1995 in Barcelona by Reinhard Mohn. The Spanish foundation shares with the Bertelsmann Foundation core values like freedom, solidarity, competence, and humanity, which guide the foundation’s pursuit of future-oriented and sustainable social solutions. The Fundación Bertelsmann has the following goals: (1) to support social change in Spain; (2) to prepare society for the future; and (3) to promote social responsibility. In its first ten years of existence, the Fundación Bertelsmann mostly focused on the library system, including projects to support literacy and library improvement. In 2005, the foundation, under the chairmanship of Liz Mohn, decided to redirect its strategy. It now initiates projects geared toward the development of civic society, under the overarching theme of “social responsibility.”

78. Because of its many insufficiently educated students, Germany is missing out on enormous potential growth—the cost will reach 2.8 trillion euros in the next eighty years, the average life span of a child born today. This is the result of a study done by the Ifo Institute for Economic Research, commissioned by the Bertelsmann Foundation. For this innovative study, the education economist Ludger Wößman calculated the adjusted earnings that result from education reform, which greatly reduces the number of so-called at-risk students. This way, for the first time, the long-term economic effects of education can be given a numeric value.

81. See the results of a labor market study by the Bertelsmann Foundation, Gütersloh, April 27, 2010. Temporary work in Germany has expanded greatly over the last decade and roughly doubled between 2000 and 2007. Nevertheless, in public opinion, this form of work still plays a secondary role. This is demonstrated in a study that compared typical employment models in international labor markets, conducted by the Bertelsmann Foundation in cooperation with the Institute for the Study of Labor. “New employment possibilities,” wrote Dr. Gunter Thielen, chair of the Bertelsmann Foundation, in the study’s introduction, “have been created through the easier use of temporary labor, which was made possible through labor market reforms. However, these possibilities seldom act as a bridge to regular employment.” That is, an autonomous and permanent employment sector has developed consisting of workers whose hopes for a quick transition into regular employment have not been fulfilled. The seemingly permanent inequity between temporary and permanent employees does not comply with the basic tenets of a social market economy. The study Atypical Employment and Low-Wage Work compared additional atypical employment relationships internationally, including part-time work, new forms of self-employment, and poorly paid labor.
