The Present connects entrepreneurs to meaningful organisations who support refugees and newcomers
About this Event
The Present builds partnerships with initiatives, projects and NGOs that make a positive contribution to the lives of refugees. We connect them to our network of entrepreneurs who can help with certain issues that need to be solved for an even more positive impact.
As part of such a partnership, The Present organises meet-ups, where initiatives that want to improve the lives of refugees are given a stage. Here they can discuss the biggest issues live with an enterprising audience where we create a form of 'crowd consulting'.
Our first meet-up in Den Haag, at Anna & Co, will be happening at October 13th. At the meet-up we will hear the inspiring story of 'Thaki'. Thaki empowers refugee and vulnerable children to learn and thrive through self-paced, motivational electronic educational tools. These tools are their key to accessing 21st century skills. Thaki collects retired electronic devices from corporations, institutions and individuals and then loads the devices with software and high quality, interactive educational content and gets them in the hands of young refugees with limited educational resources. Come and hear their inspiring story and help them out with their bottleneck!
