Sir Peter Ustinov Foundation

The Sir Peter Ustinov Foundation, based in Frankfurt, Germany, was founded in 1999 by Sir Peter and his son Igor Ustinov who still chairs the charity arm of the Ustinov family to this day. In keeping with the spirit of Sir Peter and the values of the Ustinov family, the work focusses on granting children irrespective of their cultural, social, religious or financial background a chance of an independent and optimistic future primarily by providing access to education AND creativity. In its overall education approach the Ustinov Foundation jointly with the Ustinov College in Durham, England (www.dur.ac.uk/ustinov.college), as well as the Ustinov Institute in Vienna, Austria (www.ustinov.at), fully supports the research and the efforts to decrease prejudices. For Sir Peter Ustinov prejudices are the origin of all conflicts and only education offers the key for an open-minded, more peaceful world
