OPEN FUTURE is a unique 3-year extra-curricular program for young people between 11 and 15 years. Its aim is to promote their digital skills, creativity and entrepreneurship, and help them increase the probability of better educational opportunities. Participants work in teams on a mini-social start up for their communities. Mentors help them increase their educational and employment prospects.<\/p>\n

The program introduces a unique cooperation: it connects municipalities<\/strong>, which are interested in skill development of young people; experts<\/strong> who are willing to give their time and know-how for a good cause; and young people<\/strong> who have the right motivation to improve their abilities and increase their potential.<\/p>\n

BECAUSE WE BELIEVE THAT TALENT IS EVERYWHERE BUT OPPORTUNITIES ARE NOT.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
