Young and invested, NextGen for change
General information
Project name: Young and invested, NextGen for change
Country: The Netherlands
Timeline: From 1 March 2026 to 31 March 2027
Lead Organisation: Oikocredit ontwikkelingsvereniging Nederland
Summary of Action
With “Yound and Invested, NextGen for change” we bring social impact investing into Dutch lecture halls and classrooms, places where (future) professionals still rarely engage with these topics. They are the people who will soon be deciding where the money goes – and thus whether it is used purely for financial returns or for broader social value.
How do we do this?
The project is built around peer-to-peer education. In collaboration with students we will develop a powerful teaching programme within three months.
We will recruit 10–15 student pairs, and each pair will be trained to independently deliver guest lectures. Together they will reach 500+ students in the Netherlands!
At the end of the project, we will bring all students together for an inspiring closing event, with direct contact with a social entrepreneur from the Oikocredit network.
During each session we will collect feedback (at the beginning and the end). The results will be incorporated into a final report and shared with all partners and schools. After the project, we will make (parts of) the teaching materials accessible.
