Introducing Dutch Children to
Heart-Centered Leadership
Building a World of Heart-Centered Leaders
Symbols of Hope: Connecting Hearts Across Continents
Imagine a classroom full of curious children discovering the power of gratitude. How special it is to pause and appreciate what you have, and how you can share that with others. That’s where our journey began: with workshops in Dutch primary schools where we talked about gratitude and connection. We made jewelry. Not just any jewelry, but symbols of hope and collaboration. Along the way, we explored the differences and similarities between the Netherlands and countries like India and South Africa. Because no matter how far apart these places are, children everywhere dream of a better future.
Then came the moment when dreams turned into reality: the first expeditions to South Africa. Dutch youth traveled to help build a day care for orphaned children, support water projects, and experience what it truly means to make a difference. It wasn’t a vacation; it was an adventure full of purpose. An experience that changed lives – both there and here.
From Students to Leaders: Shaping a Sustainable Future
We’ve inspired hundreds of students across the Netherlands. We offer interactive workshops in primary and secondary schools, where we talk about sustainability, leadership, and global citizenship. We show how your choices have an impact. And how you, even as a student, can contribute to a better world. Together with schools and vocational colleges, we organize internships, projects, and even mastermind groups where young people create ambitious plans to make the world a better place.
BOOST The World is more than a foundation. It’s a movement. A community where children and young people discover that they don’t have to wait until later to make a difference. They can start today: with an idea, an action, and an open heart.
