Think Big

Think Big is a chance for young people.

Mission of Think Big program is to motivate young people to create and realize their ideas and support their projects in the field of culture, sport, art, and environment.

Program with subtitle „Places for the young" is interesting, because it proposes for young community not only finances but also reconstruction of the place.

Young people will plan and realize their ideas for themselves.

Think Big program was opened by Ekopolis Foundation in cooperation with a program partner Telefónica O2 Slovakia.

The starting point of the program is an idea, that when young people have an opportunity to be involved into the change of their surrounding, they will do it and they can make up together some new and purposeful filling of the space. They can agree with its new face and usage. All the same, they will be agreeable to contribute with their work to create this space. By means of this there are being created new useful spaces for young people - the spaces, which young people create for themselves.

Objective

The main objective of the program is the participation of young people at preparation, planning and realization of their projects.

The objective of the program is to afford opportunity to young people to have an influence on their projects enforce their feeling of responsibility, selfconfidence, success and local patriotism.

For young people the program provides at the same time the opportunity to have a positive experience from making something relevant for place, where they live, for themselves and also for the whole community. Their activity will have tangible output and they contribute to relation improvement and consolidation in community.
