    Innovator in the Spotlight

    Towards a more inclusive society to raise awareness of basic skills gaps

    In the Netherlands, 2.5 million people struggle daily with reading, writing, math, and digital skills, also called basic skills. These deficiencies make it difficult for them to fully participate in society, such as reading and understanding a letter or buying a train ticket, leading to various personal and societal problems.

    Have you ever felt lost in the complex world of taxes and finances, struggling to navigate confusing communication?

    What if this is your daily struggle: ”in the labyrinthine corridors of fiscal intricacies, your presence is required to partake in a subtle symphony of engagements…” puzzling, complex, confusing communication. But, did you know that for 1 out of 5 people in the Netherlands this actually ís a daily struggle?

    Bridging the gap

    We believe that every person need to be able to take part in society if he or she wants to. Therefore, we need to bridge the gap of understanding and communication. And yes, these basic skills (reading, writing, calculation and digital skills) are basic in life.

    In other words: we need to craft equality by building inclusive bridges. How? This means raising awareness and taking action.
