Revealing future interests

The project “Motivated to Succeed” aims to implement innovative workshops delivered by guest-speakers with successful careers into the Dutch educational system, so that more students may be inspired and encouraged. The Weekendschool offers the workshops to children aged 10 to 14, regardless of their ethnicity or socioeconomic backgrounds. This way, young children are given the opportunity of gaining an insight into all kinds of working environments, ranging from medicine, journalism, to law, philosophy and even entrepreneurship. Through this, the children may identify their own personal interests to be pursued in the future. 

Focus of foundation: Equal opportunities
Target group: Children and young people
