Epic Foundation

🌟 #EpicSupporters in the #MarathonPourTous 🌟 #Paris2024 continues to revolutionize the Olympic experience with the Marathon Pour Tous, an event that allows amateur runners to race on the same course as the Olympic marathon at night. This event transforms the public’s experience by enabling as many people as possible to participate, promoting inclusivity and allowing them to follow in the footsteps of outstanding athletes. This Saturday, two of our Epic Foundation supporters, Gérald Mathieu, CEO of Barclays Monaco, and Vincent COLETTE, will run 42 km, dedicating this race to Generation France. They are transforming this experience into an opportunity to raise funds for this great nonprofit organization. Generation France, the newest addition to our #Children and #Youth portfolio, is redefining the path from education to employment by empowering disadvantaged youth and helping companies find entry-level talent. We are beyond proud to have them rallying for our cause. Join us in celebrating this amazing event and let’s cheer on our #EpicSupporters ! 🎉👏

Take a Break and Learn Something New! 🌟💡 “We believe that in order to create inclusive spaces in which young people can thrive and succeed, we must be mindful of how we communicate with, and about, young people” - ThinkForward UK ThinkForward UK, one of the #nonprofits in our #Children and #Youth portfolio, developed a guide on using #empoweringlanguage.  Asset-based language focuses on young people's strengths and potential, highlighting opportunities and addressing systemic issues. On the other hand, deficit-based language points out what's missing or wrong, focusing on problems and putting responsibility on the individual. This guide shows that focusing on #strengths can boost academic and #socialsuccess 🚀 For example: ✅ Do say  ➜  young people  ❌ Don't say  ➜  kids 💡 Want to learn more?
