• Launched for the first time in 2015 by the BNP Paribas Foundation, Dream Up is an international programme that covers 29 countries and currently has 30 active projects. Its purpose is to take art, origins, stories and culture as a starting point for structured and sustained educational practice, helping participants to develop critical thinking, storytelling, cooperation, teamwork, as well as project management skills that will help them throughout their personal and professional lives.
  • The BNP Paribas Foundation’s ambition is to provide long-term support for the talents, innovative projects and personalities who will help change the world, giving them visibility and making their projects sustainable, whether cultural, social or environmental.
  • The programme has already supported more than 50,000 children in 29 countries.
  • The 4th edition of Dream UP in Portugal, a project by BNP Paribas, has selected Skoola, a non profit organization whose mission is to take culture to younger generations, so that they can enjoy cultural and musical practice, regardless of their social or economical background. With said objective, SKOOLA offers scholarships which promote inclusion and equality of opportunities, boosting its social impact.
