Mission Statement
"21future - we want to help children succeed in life" Understanding how important competencies (personal, social, digital) such as curiousity, self-responsibilty and awareness are - and increasingly will be - in today's and tomorrow's environment, 21future strives to help school children understand, develop and apply such competencies as part of their school life. As its first core product, 21future has developed a one-week learning journey in which students pick a challenge (e.g. "smart with my phone; how to reduce waste at school"), jointly develop a solution in a team and then recap their learning journey in a video-style presentation. More than anything, it is our intention to actively engage with students encouraging them to become more self-responsible when addressing challenges in life - and helping them realize by themselves just how powerful applying these competencies can be. We certainly intend to develop good presentation videos - yet, more important than the final product is the journey. 21future is open to all school forms - yet we do favour working with students from comparatively underprivileged backgrounds. 21future is free to students and to schools - we believe that a core asset of a society is to provide valuable, relevant education to EVERYONE - regardless of their social status and financial situation. While currently focussed on two cities in Germany (Munich and Karlsruhe), 21future plans to gradually expand nationally and internationally - with the eventuel intent of becoming a community for students (and teachers) where they can actively engage, interact and help each other in their quest to develop and apply future-oriented competencies. The following video (in German with English subtitles) also help illustrate its mission: https://vimeo.com/252414596
About This Cause
21future was founded in late 2017 by Tahir Hussain who, after 25+ years in leadership positions (Amazon, Bertelsmann, BCG) decided to "give back" in the field of education. It is a non-profit organisation formally established as a gGmbh (common form of non-profits wanting to scale) in Munich. 21future has so far conducted its one-week learning journey in almost 20 schools, reaching more than 400 students The founder and MD of 21future, Tahir Hussain, has committed his own funds to secure the first three years of operations.
