Are you ready to make a difference for and with young people? Fondation Botnar is launching the second phase of its Fit4Future programme, and we are looking for bold, innovative projects that harness digital technologies and AI to:

• Create inclusive cities by engaging young people in shaping sustainable, liveable urban spaces. Projects should involve diverse youth voices in designing their environments and connecting with local and global decision-makers.
• Advance inclusive education by addressing barriers to learning, particularly for marginalised groups, youth with disabilities, and those out of school.

If your project aligns with these goals and our eligibility criteria, we encourage you to submit your proposal by Monday 10 February 2025. This call is open to initiatives from Romania, Ghana, Senegal, Tanzania, Indonesia, Vietnam, Colombia, and Ecuador. We will prioritise projects that demonstrate strong local ownership and community involvement.

We are holding a virtual information session on 13 January 2025, 1:30-2:30 PM CET, to address questions from organisations interested in applying and provide an opportunity to exchange with our programme staff. To make the most of our 60 minutes together, we kindly invite you to submit your questions in advance. Questions submitted by January 8th will be addressed during the session, but you will also have the opportunity to ask additional questions live. Live captioning will also be available.

Submit your application here.
