The next generation won’t simply step into the future; they will shape it. And if we want to help them make something meaningful, it is not enough to simply tell them that the future is theirs.
That is the core driving force behind our Giving Back initiatives. We don’t want to offer quick onetime fixes, but something that lasts. Giving them the skills, tools, and opportunities they can draw on as they shape their own way.
Creative Challenge that Brings Ideas to Life
For years through our Giving Back volunteer days we’ve restored and built Talking Tom & Friends playgrounds across Slovenia. But along the way we started thinking: why not give the children a chance to shape them too?
That led to our pilot creative competition that invited primary school students in Slovenia to develop their own ideas for the next playground at Debeli rtič. The goal was simple: give children the chance to see that they can make an impact.
Partnering With Digital School to Build Future Problem Solvers
Because programming teaches you how to analyze and solve problems it can serve as a powerful foundation. That is why we are collaborating with Digital School to give kids a free programming education and a place to learn just that.
They learn to break complex problems into smaller steps, experiment with different solutions and ultimately build a mindset that serves them far beyond the screen.
Empowering Young Entrepreneurs With POPRI
An idea can feel complete when it only exists in your own head, but putting it in front of others helps it grow.
By supporting POPRI, we give young minds a place to develop and pitch their ideas. We take part in the judging process to ask questions, encourage, and help them think outside the box, teaching them the skills to structure a concept and share it convincingly.
Sharing Years of Experience Through Mentorship
Building something for the first time also requires some experience to see what comes next. And to help a young entrepreneur with his vision we proposed a mentorship.
Five experts, three days and one strong concept. Sharing what we have learned over the years to equip him with practical insights that are difficult to know unless you have encountered them.
Bridging Theory and Practice in the Classroom
When a culture of Giving Back thrives, it inspires individuals to step forward with their own initiatives. Driven by this shared purpose, our team member Rok Piltaver, Senior Data Scientist at Outfit7 (Ekipa2 Subsidiary) gives university lectures and guides students through their thesis work.
Sharing his professional point of view, shaped by his work at Outfit7 he gives the students a completely new lens to make sense of what they are learning.
Lasting Impact Over Quick Fixes
If you give young people an answer, they solve a problem once, but if you give them the right environment and tools, they gain the ability to solve the next one on their own.
And that is why we choose to give back the way we do. Because the next generation can build on what they already have and hopefully turn it into something even greater.
