to deal with world problems

14. My why? How?What?
WHY?To much people die before the have lived towards their passions.
“I aim here to reduce the people that have a job that drains their energy and doesn’t drive
any passions or ambitions they have”
HOW? By organizing impact events like hackathons & creating self-organized learning
platforms
“I offer people with dreams a place where they can teach themselves the 21st century skills
making them independent and able to create their own jobs”.
WHAT? “Before I become 30 years old I will train 1 million people in how to turn their
ideas, curiosity and passion into jobs”.
VISION: to prepare and lead a society of changemakers that are able to create new jobs,
tackle world problems and find purpose in their life & work.
