The To The Future Foundation works for the benefit of the local community in Wroclaw. It brings together people from diverse backgrounds and ages. The foundation supports children, teenagers, people at risk of social exclusion, people with disabilities, and their guardians. We focus on spreading and promoting European values such as democracy and human rights, supporting cultural and historical education among young citizens of Europe (including shaping the attitude of active citizens and volunteers), acting for tolerance, peace, and understanding between nations, promoting self-development through non-formal learning methodologies, and encouraging social inclusion by promoting lifelong education and the development of 21 competencies for underprivileged groups. Therefore, we organize and participate in local events, meetings, seminars, workshops, and exhibitions, and cooperate with non-governmental organizations and local authorities to improve healthy behaviors and attitudes, better mental health and well-being, and equalize economic opportunities and gender inequalities for women. We are also involved in voluntary service. We focus on building stronger communities by engaging young people to participate in local projects and cooperation to help ensure social inclusion, increase self-confidence, self-esteem, and enhance mutual understanding. One of our most important projects is "Disability via Art." This project aims to create a dedicated space where people with disabilities and seniors can actively participate in artistic workshops, breaking down societal barriers and promoting mutual growth through the transformative power of art. People with disabilities and seniors often face isolation, and their access to artistic expression and communal engagement is limited. This project seeks to address these challenges by providing an inclusive environment that encourages creative expression and social interaction. Overcoming preconceived notions about the abilities of individuals with disabilities is a key challenge, and the project aims to change perceptions through meaningful engagement. This year, we have also focused on the elderly. We have organized support groups, activities, and excursions for them to alleviate loneliness, poverty, and social exclusion. We realized how important it is because nobody wants to be alone, especially in their old age. By incorporating seniors into the art-centric initiative alongside individuals with disabilities, the project strives to boost seniors' sense of empowerment and involvement. Through artistic expression, seniors can discover a revitalized sense of purpose and connection, enriching their lives with meaningful experiences. To address the challenges at hand, we created a dedicated space that accommodates the unique needs of people with disabilities and seniors. This space serves as a hub for artistic workshops, fostering creativity, self-expression, and social interaction. This initiative, known as the "To The Future Disability via Art" project, is designed to address the issues of isolation and inactivity that often accompany these conditions. The core of the project involves conducting workshops tailored to the needs and interests of individuals with disabilities and the elderly. The aim is to create an inclusive environment that encourages active participation and combats the tendency for these individuals to stay at home, feeling excluded from broader social activities. In summary, the mission of the To The Future Foundation is to create a more inclusive and equitable society by supporting and empowering individuals at risk of social exclusion. We aim to foster social integration, promote lifelong education, and enhance the overall well-being of these individuals. By building stronger communities and encouraging positive relationships, we strive to create a future where everyone feels valued and included.

The Underdog Project aims to transforms the lives of at-risk youth in Cape Town, South Africa, by pairing them with shelter dogs in a unique program that builds empathy, leadership, and emotional intelligence. Through weekly training sessions, youth learn to care for and communicate with the dogs, improving their resilience and employability. Simultaneously, the dogs benefit from the training and love, increasing their chances of adoption. Together, they foster growth and compassion in their communities. Challenge: Youth in Cape Town's underserved communities face barriers like poverty, violence, and unemployment, with limited access to safe spaces or life-skill development opportunities. Many struggle with trauma, low self-esteem, and a lack of positive role models. At the same time, shelter dogs experience neglect and limited chances of adoption. This dual problem impacts the youth's ability to thrive and the dogs' opportunities for a better life, creating a cycle of disconnection and loss. Solution: The Underdog Project addresses these challenges by pairing at-risk youth with shelter dogs in a supportive, therapeutic program. Youth learn critical life skills like empathy, responsibility, and leadership by training and caring for the dogs. The program fosters emotional growth in the youth and prepares the dogs for adoption by teaching them positive behaviors. Together, youth and dogs build bonds that enable healing, growth, and a stronger sense of purpose for both. Long-Term Impact: This project creates a ripple effect of change. Youth develop resilience, employability skills, and leadership qualities that enable them to inspire positive change in their communities. Graduates often mentor their peers, spreading lessons of empathy and non-violence. Shelter dogs benefit from training and care, increasing their adoption chances and reducing shelter overcrowding. Over time, the program contributes to building more compassionate communities where both humans and animals thrive.

Greenpop was founded in 2010 and has since worked across Sub-Saharan Africa and empowered thousands of people around the world to get active (not anxious) about the future of our planet. Optimistic Environmentalism - Our Guiding Philosophy: At Greenpop, we believe in tackling environmental challenges with a mindset of hope, creativity, and tangible impact. Our work is deeply rooted in the powerful theoretical framework of Optimistic Environmentalism. This philosophy isn't just an idea; it guides every project, every partnership, and every decision we make, shaping how we contribute to a thriving planet. We interpret this framework through four primary stances: Pro-Nature We champion the conservation and restoration of nature because it holds inherent value and is absolutely essential for a habitable planet. Our projects are designed to heal and enhance ecosystems, recognising nature's vital role in our collective well-being and the balance of life on Earth. Pro-People We are committed to ensuring equality of access to nature and its benefits for all people, both today and for future generations. Creating a just world means prioritising communities, empowering diverse voices, and ensuring environmental solutions genuinely uplift and benefit everyone, especially marginalised groups. Pro-Innovation We embrace creativity, new technology, and innovative design as crucial tools for solving complex environmental challenges. We constantly seek smarter, more effective ways to make a lasting positive impact, fostering a culture of continuous learning, adaptation, and bold thinking. Pro-Action We believe that swift, meaningful environmental action is essential, not just in policy or grand initiatives, but in every sphere - personal, economic, and legislative. We activate individuals and communities to become active participants, turning concern into tangible positive change and inspiring widespread joyful engagement. These four stances form the bedrock of Greenpop's approach, demonstrating our belief that a sustainable future is not only possible but achievable through an empowered, connected, and proactive humanity. It's the philosophy that fuels our mission to drive tangible environmental restoration and inspire collective action for a thriving planet.
