Step 1 FEEL

No place to learn new skills , or practice talents Pollution No Public space for entratainment No green spaces

No place to learn new skills or practice talents : because learning soft skills nowadays is primordial for the development of our society

Teenagers are the most affected by not having a place to develop new skills or practice their talents and even to have fun in their free time. all what they do is surfing the net or playing video games

Step 2 IMAGINE

A program called teenagers got talent Inviting adults or coaches to present workshops for teenagers Teenagers presenting a workshop for their friends A digital platform for teenagers where they can learn new skills, teach the skills they master to other teens and share their talents with their friends

A platform that implements teenagers from allover Tunisia where they can learn new skills, teach the skills they master to other teens and share their talents with their friends.

Step 3DO

First teenagers went out and interviewed other teens to know what type of workshops they're interested in. Then, they prepared a workshop planning After that the teenagers who wanted to be facilitators and animate workshops where trained and practiced over and over again to be well prepared For the workshops they invited their friends to encourage them.

Teenagers were motivated and influenced by their friends and in each workshop the number of participants increased. And they also wanted to be facilitators, animate workshops and lead the change

"Teen4teen program gave me the chance to learn new skills like public speaking, creativity and design thinking and also to teach and share what i learn with other teens and be a facilitator" Mariem Triaa " And I want to do it too" Yassmine barhoumi

The major challenge that faced us was how to motivate teenagers to get them out of their comfort zone. But when we showed them other teens in the world what change they're making , how confident and brave they are many of them got excited and wanted to take the first step toward change.

Quality Education

Soft skills are very important for teenagers to learn and they're not taught in schools or college and we believe that teenagers are the future. In Tunisia it's hard to find a place where teenagers are valued or believed in , where to learn new skills or practice their talents. And even if we find some places they're expensive to take part in. That's why teen4teen is a free program where teenagers are the center. They're the learners, the coaches and the talented who want to share their talents with their peers.

Step 4 SHARE

First we created our logo, a facebook groupe and an Instagram account and our teenagers started to post videos, stories and shared the program in their profils that's how their friends learnt about it. And in Archipel Education which contains over 250 students we made an open day where teenagers came and the facilitators presented their work to the public

More than 100

Our plan is to welcome more teenagers to lead the change, to be trained to be faciliators and ofcourse to learn new soft skills. And our big vision is to create a digital platform which links all teenagers from allover the world and to take part of movement.
