31 young people and teams believed that change begins with personal motivation and active actions, and submitted their ideas to the “Be the best version of yourself” competition.
The competition received 31 proposals from young people between the ages of 18 and 25, aimed at developing personal potential and creating positive change in the communities in which they live.
Among the applications there are ideas in the field of volunteering, education, sports, ecology, culture, social inclusion and active civic participation. What they all have in common is the desire of young people not only to talk about change, but to be its engines.
The “Be the best version of yourself” competition is part of the initiatives with which WCIF celebrates its 25th anniversary. For a quarter of a century, the foundation has supported active citizens, bold ideas and solutions for a better public environment. On the occasion of her anniversary, she gave young people between the ages of 18 and 25 the opportunity to turn their ideas into real actions – for themselves and for the people around them.
Five initiatives are to be launched, which will receive funding in the amount of 2001 euros for implementation. The amount of support is symbolic – 2001 is the year in which WCIF was founded, and it reminds of the beginning of its mission to promote civic engagement and community benefit initiatives.
The approved projects will be announced on July 11, 2026 – the date on which the foundation was officially registered 25 years ago.
We thank all participants for their trust, energy and inspiration. Each submitted idea shows that young people are willing to be active, take responsibility and contribute to the development of their communities.
“Be the best version of yourself” is not just a message. It is an invitation to young people to turn their potential into action.
