About Opportunity
beVisioneers is a global fellowship that equips innovators aged 16 to 28 with the training, expert support and resources to bring their planet-positive projects to life.
At the core of our offering is a 12-month hybrid-learning program that focuses on the implementation of each Fellow’s project. Now in its pilot year, beVisioneers aims to train 1000 Fellows annually by 2025. Funded by a donation from Mercedes-Benz, beVisioneers provides the program free of charge to all Fellows and provides basic living and technology support for those who could not otherwise participate. Upon completing the intensive 12-month program, Fellows continue to receive support to scale their projects and develop their leadership skills. By fostering local, regional and global exchange among our ever-growing community of Fellows, mentors and experts, we amplify impact today and help build the environmental leaders of tomorrow.
Core elements of the
Fellowship program
A unique & collaborative framework
beVisioneers focuses on specific sustainability zones, for example, Food Waste or Clean Water.
We match our Fellows’ ideas and projects to these areas, giving them exactly what they need to tackle these challenges over 12 months.
Projects will be carried out in close proximity to align with broader efforts around localization. With this approach, we can amplify impact.
Our three learning labs
The program will focus on three different learning labs over 12 months:
Personal sustainability, focused on your individual and collective leadership, well-being and resilience.
Environmental Sustainability, focused on your knowledge and application of planet-positive concepts and practices.
Venture sustainability, focused on your entrepreneurial mindsets and skills to turn ideas into action.
Regional & global summits
You will get a chance to meet other Fellows face-to-face at our regional summits.
During these summits you will hear from industry experts.
There will also be a chance to attend a global summit, which will include pitch competitions and opportunities to win funding for your project.
