ONE WORLD Citizens ANBI

The Youngest generations are born to shape the next steps of Human & Earth Development.        Let's unite and share our knowledge, expertise, mentoring, coaching, stuff and start capital. To encourage the youngest generations to believe in their visions and ideas for change and turn them into projects and start-ups for impact. So that they are able to take the future in their own hands and build the inclusive climate proof future we all need! #WeGrowTogether #NoOneleftBehind

ONE WORLD Citizens is committed to non-formal education and social entrepreneurship for youngsters worldwide, with which they can develop ideas for change in their local communities into activities, projects and start-ups for the implementation of the change they want to see. So that they are able to act locally and collaborate globally to actively contribute to an inclusive, sustainable and climate-proof society that offers everyone a future, including our Earth and future generations.

We are working on non-formal, online, contemporary, low-threshold education.  Organized by & for youngsters from all kind of backgrounds, cultures and countries. Accessible to all youth. By doing this, more and more youth will have the opportunity to prepare themselves well for the challenges of today and their future. While working together with youngsters from all countries on daily, practical solutions with a focus on basic needs for all: peace, water, food, energy, reforestry, biodiversity, ICT skills and technology.

The 17 SDGs, the 16 Earth Charter principles and UBUNTU are the basic elements (the “basic subjects”) of the non-formal education that we develop and organize in OWC, because they form an important basis for a new global togetherness, an action and purposeful movement and sustainable partnerships.

We Grow Together

We work together in  the We Grow Together youth community. A beautiful mix of local youth from 20 countries, young newcomers (migrants) and young community leaders from developing countries and migrant home countries. Because we believe in the power of diversity!

“Every individual, every good idea for change and positive contribution to society counts. We are all different and this makes sense! Every child/human has its own package of talents, passion, ideas for change and therefore a unique, important contribution to the local society. Together we have all the solutions needed to build an inclusive, climate-proof World that brings a future to everyone. Including our Earth and future generations”

To be copied in all countries

ONE WORLD Citizens is not-for-profit. Everything we do in OWC serves the public interest. We do not build equity or share surplus budget with Living Legends*, who are committed to driving change and access to basic needs in their local communities.

OWC is contemporary, organized online and has no office building. The fixed costs of our organization consist of the following cost items:

  • Management fee (basic income) Board Director: € 21.780,00 per year
  • Fixed costs: web hosting, banking, administration and license costs: € 1.750,00 per year

To accelerate scaling up and bringing the Living Legends School online, we would like to expand the OWC management team to 4 team members. If this is successful, the total remuneration of the management will be 4 x € 21.780,00

All donations that we receive go directly to the basic incomes and low-budget costs of the Living Legends and their projects, for which the money is intended. 

We organize OWC in this low-budget way as an example organization for the countries and young people who join us.  So that they can copy our simple organizational model, we can guide them. To become a strong global cooperative as quickly as possible and to empower as many young people in as many countries as possible to create change in their local communities. Hands-on and bottom-up.

OWC has a Board Director and a Supervisory Board, all of whose members are volunteers without allowance. With bylaws that strengthen OWC's governance.

*A Living Legend is a young person who is willing to develop his idea for change into a local project or startup with the help of the community and then willing to help young people from other villages, cities, countries to copy his example project or startup in its own community. In this way, young people see themselves scaling up and implementing the change that is needed worldwide as quickly as possible.
