Welcome to Our Talents - Our Future's official website!
We are a non-profit organisation registered in England and Wales in 2008 and based in Berlin, Germany.
-
"Education is the primary path to a nation’s rebirth… the talented youth has the potential to lead the way..."
-
"We provide educational support to talented children and teenagers from needy families, especially from zones of armed conflict, who are willing to engage in social responsibility projects."
-
"In this way our pupils make the most of their talents – for themselves and for their society - and, we hope, avoid wars in the future."

What is the most important resource to solve the world’s many social problems? A key role is taken by individuals who can see how the problems can be solved and who are able to lead others towards their solution - able people, who also want to use their skills to solve social problems.
That is why Our Talents – Our Future helps talented children and teenagers, who are willing to improve society, in their education. In exchange for our help, they engage in social responsibility activities in their societies. The results of this "we help you, you help them" model are:
a) "We help you": Our pupils benefit by getting help in their education, by discovering ways in which they can usefully apply their talents, thereby developing their sense of social responsibility.
b) "You help them": The societies benefit directly from our pupils’ activities and, in some areas, we hope also indirectlly from less emigration of talented young people.
c) Our Talents – Our Future's funds and efforts have a wider reach than they would in a traditional charity model. In addition, the economic effectiveness of our work is likely to be higher, because we concentrate on helping children and teenagers that are particularly talented in the sciences, mathematics and languages and who are financially disadvanged - in many cases they are refugees or have suffered from armed conflict.
