BINDEE 🖇

We are the group of young enthusiasts from Ukraine, Norway, Belgium and Italy, who want to create a digital social platform to connect mentors and mentees over their passions and interests. We want to facilitate the opportunity to share one's passion by creating a passion-sharing platform. We noticed that during the lockdown a lot of people suffer from the lack of communication. That’s why we wanted to provide an opportunity for socialising safely. Our project creates a unique platform for collecting experiences, knowledge and passions and sharing it with others. In order to kickstart the platform by 1st of September 2022, we want to find 15 mentors by the 1st of August 2022 to host at least one mentorship programme/session on their passion and interests by the 30th of September 2022.

Crea+

At Crea +, we have proposed to contribute to transforming society and building the country in which we want to live. And for this, we believe that our children must discover their talents and dedicate to what they are passionate about. In this way, they can grow up inspired, motivated and happy. For this reason and through 10 years, Crea + has had the mission of allowing children from vulnerable backgrounds to discover their talent and find their passion during their school years. To achieve this, we have built a professional volunteering program in which young people and adults donate their talents, hobbies and professions through face-to-face and virtual classes that they share with students from all over Peru. We want more children to believe in themselves to achieve their dreams. That moves us and has led us to offer more than 30 thousand free classes with 300 different themes such as mini engineers, mini chef, mini architects, singing, scientific experiments, veterinary ...

Danube Transformation Agency for Agency

DTAFA is an art group “in constant flux”, engaged to transform the relationship with the Danube. What could possible futures look like if we embrace the challenges we might face? What if we stopped trying to escape our misery, but rather decide to “stay with the trouble”? We decided to stay with the Danube! We are mapping the anticipated emergencies that the river might face in the future, producing experimental ‘solutions’: speculative maps, fish friendly swimming classes, underwater radios… Our experimental interactive forecast service “woodiana.today” reports on the status of the Anthropocene and sketches a variety of speculative futures. Come and swim with us at "Novi Sad - European Capital of Culture 2022", if it won't be already too late, and Danube dries up.

De Structura

DE STRUCTURA’S goal is to empower young people in the arts and to provide them with the tools to, on the one hand, be successful in pursuing a meaningful career, and on the other, bringing innovation to an environment daunting for newcomers. Leading the project is a team of young artists and art professionals, who through first- hand experience understand how difficult it usually is to build a meaningful career in the sphere of arts and culture. What is the problem? One’s decision to become an artist or an art professional is often challenged by numerous questions. “Art is a hobby, not a profession, shouldn’t you choose something more sensible?” “It is a vocation for the wealthy and the elites, they will never let you in. Do you want to deal with this cruel reality?” “How are you going to pay your bills or get health insurance?” Being bombarded with such questions externally as well as internally, a lack of understanding of the institutional structures of the art world an...

North-South Exchange: Sustainable Development

My name is Crislin Lind and I am 27 years old Estonian. I am a Project Assistant working through Manpower Group in Finland. I have been living in Finland since the beginning of 2018. There are a lot of people in Finland who hold a degree but cannot find a job due to the competitive market. There are so many people in underdeveloped countries, who would appreciate getting the chance to learn the research that we have done in Finland. I want to create a chance for a North-South exchange, where underdeveloped nations learn Sustainable Development from Finland. By spending time learning the research that the degree holders did and together implementing the research in underdeveloped countries, we are one step closer to a more balanced and sustainable world.

Political polarization (intrey)

We at Intrey recognized a problem of political polarization caused by unconsciously viewing political content while scrolling over social media platforms and chose to provide a social media platform that curates content from all sides of the political spectrum and allows you to converse and express your opinions out loud. We believe that the first step in healing our troubled world is to engage in true discourse.
