We are committed to testing potential solutions to the most pressing challenges in Child and Youth Development. Every society faces real hurdles in giving young people access to quality education or to the job market. And many education systems neglect developing the interpersonal skills required by young people to become responsible members of their communities.
Therefore, we support intervention and application programmes that address these needs, achieve immediate practical results and provide best-practice examples for future projects. Our attention has helped improve the lives of children worldwide, especially in Europe, South America, and Africa. Projects encompass education in the widest possible sense and include early learning, lifelong learning and the development of social consciousness and life skills.
What works in Youth Employment?
Over the next decade, one billion young people will enter the global labour market, the largest age cohort ever to reach employment age. They are the next generation of workers, entrepreneurs and leaders.
