Invent Future.Global is an association of like-minded individuals representing innovative educational organizations across the world. We are passionate about providing students with the opportunities to share experiences and collaborate with students from other countries in online challenges, using virtual platforms and thus making international educational events accessible for all.
Invent Future Global (IF.G) organises online global collaboration learning events in English throughout the year, such as the SDG Challenges in which students from around the world work in teams to solve specific problems and issues, related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Other events include the Global Innovation Challenge whereby winning students or teams from each country present their inventions or innovations in front of an international jury. By participating in these events, the students develop cultural awareness, they learn to problem-solve and think creatively and to pitch their ideas in front of an audience and a jury. They also develop digital skills as they use online platforms to collaborate with their team-mates. These experiences braoden their horizons and strengthen their English communication skills, forming them into global citizens from the comfort of their own homes. IF.G makes international learning events accessible to all students
