TADA is 100% bilingual (NL/FR) non-profit organisation that provides supplementary, voluntary, motivational and society-oriented education to children aged 10 to 14, who come from the most socioeconomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Brussels.
Over the course of three school years the TADA pupils discover diverse aspects of society in weekly experiential classes. Every Saturday the TADA pupils receive courses from inspiring professionals – volunteers – from all areas of the labor market, for example entrepreneurs, engineers, chefs, lawyers, and journalists. Through experiential learning and courses on topics such as law or finances for kids, TADA shows kids what ‘later’ could have in store for them.
By doing, these children not only get to know the greater society and the labor market, but they also discover themselves: what they’re good at and what they like. By doing, the TADA students develop a critical eye as well as their horizontal skills, such as creativity, discipline, and a sense of initiative. By doing, TADA increases their knowledge about and their connection with society.
