Who are we?

Every young person deserves the chance to dream big. That is why TADA
(ToekomstAtelierDelAvenir) addresses inequality through long-term and high-quality educational programs.

Through our weekend school, the alumni community, and our program at schools, we broaden the perspectives of youngsters from socio-economically vulnerable backgrounds and boost their self-confidence, with a proven impact. We deliberately start at the age of 10, the exact moment when curiosity and dreams for the future take shape.

Help build a more equal society. Join us and help TADA grow!

What do we do?

TADA addresses inequality through long-term and high-quality educational programs. Through a three-year trajectory in the weekend school, youngsters from socio-economically vulnerable backgrounds discover their own unique place in society. Together with passionate professionals and volunteers, they explore professions and build their self-confidence every Saturday of the school year.

After this process, they become part of our alumni community, where they gain access to mentorship, a welcoming gathering place, and inspiring activities, among other things.

In a context of growing inequality, we are also pioneering by bringing this transformative approach directly into the classroom through a program at schools. In Leuven and Verviers, students dive into monthly interactive STE(A)M workshops that seamlessly connect to their lessons. In doing so, we build an inspiring bridge between school and the world beyond.

Testimonials

Adam
Alumnus of the 2019 generation
"TADA brought me a lot of happiness, a lot of joy and a lot of friends too. I learned a lot of things too and I hope I will pass them on to the new ones. My wish for TADA is that many new people will become interested in it. I'd like to thank TADA for everything they do!"
Tolga
Alumnus of the 2014 generation and class coordinator
"What I appreciated about my journey at TADA was that they gave me the opportunity to have my own classroom. Not everyone receives this opportunity. I really liked that they asked me that. I was a permanent helper for a long time (at weekend school), I also work in the playgrounds with children. So I think my experience with children goes a long way."
Caroline
Alumna of the 2012 generation
"The memory that stays with me most from TADA is my work as a volunteer at the homework place. It's also a bit of what I want to do in the future: support young people as a psychologist. My wish for TADA is that it continues and grows, so that we can support more and more children, because it really helped me a lot with my choice of study and my personal development."
