Wealthholders, Funders, Donors

learn of a new mass phenomenon yet unknown in Europe but urgently needed and wanted by everyone that sees it – and  what practical steps they can take to invest in youth leadership – for example at schools and elsewhere (reserves, refugee camps, orphanages…) – also by activating their far-reaching networks.

This new phenomenon is not revolution but evolution. It is not against but for. It focusses not on protest but on projects. It does not demand action by a few but seeks to empower the masse to implement solutions.

We enable caring wealthholders to take creative part in wielding their education, knowhow, friendly relations, status, infrastructure and resources in the most beautiful ways possible – to make grand changes as well, enable magical moments and realize DREAMS for genius youth – and enjoy heartwarming non-judging community for years to come, as well as safe spaces to spend holidays with purpose without need for security, blindered cars etc. 

 

Celebrities

“Privilege” for us has zero zip nothing to do with skin pigment, age, gender, job or wealth. Also, we do not in the temporary blabla trend of labelling people. We go by spirit.

Leveraging Privilege means access to media, talkshows, media presence, galas, luxury yachts, chateaus and spaces for workshops etc

Celebrities can experience how they can use their privileges in ways to boost hero*ines and action through

  • their followers, media presence, access to ‘elites’, to other ‘celebrities, privileged people, media makers

  • with perks for followers, also in-kind with spaces for workshops, camps, prizes and more

and they can enjoy

  • non-judging company among bright teen and twen changemakers in urban and rural spaces
  • without need for masks
  • without need for security measures

 

Place- & Space Owners
  • such as ho(s)tels, cafés, eco- and community centres, organic stores, family restaurants, markets, malls, companies, parks …

and mobile spaces

  • like tram, subway, train, airplane, taxis …

and grand spaces

  • like villas, castles, land, rewilding areas, estates, national parks, luxury yachts … 

learn how their space can serve to

  • inspire the public for youth leadership
  • raise funds and activate people
  • aligned with your personal and professional aspirations
  • adding gleam and purpose to your space
  • with vibrant visual media presence
  • short- or long-term, ever changing aligned with YL actions, your favorite causes, UN Days etc
