About Stichting Move Utrecht

Every child must be able to develop to the full, regardless of his background, the educational level of his parents or their financial resources. Unfortunately, this is still not self-evident for all children. The Move Foundation is committed to children who have fewer opportunities than their peers. We believe that every child has the right to broaden his perspective, discover his talent and use it for his environment. With our projects we give children the opportunity to discover what they are worth.

Move connects children from disadvantaged neighborhoods to students. They brainstorm about the question: how can we improve the neighborhood ourselves? Together they take responsibility for devising and implementing a social project. The ideas and talents of the children come first: together with the students, they give their neighborhood a boost. For example, they organize an afternoon of games for the elderly, make a work of art in the neighborhood or do a litter clean-up campaign together with local residents. In addition to devising and implementing a project in the neighborhood, the students also take the children to student life for a day. For example, they go to the university, to a student house, or they go sports together at the association. In short: it is an eye-opening experience for both parties!
