The Tocqueville Challenge

Students and mentors from the business world work together to help an association develop a project of general interest.

An innovative approach integrated into the curricula of partner schools, a professionalizing and philanthropic experience for students, visibility for the company and sustainable solutions for the benefit of civil society.

WHAT IS IT ?

The Challenge's objectives are to harness the desire for engagement and the connected nature of the Millennial generation and inspire passion for the field by providing hands-on opportunities to explore and design viable solutions to specific societal challenges within the context of civic service.

The Challenge aims at encouraging broad-based partnerships and multistakeholder alliances across a range of actors and providing a framework for building bridges between sectors and generations.
It offers students a chance to apply theory to practice through civic engagement in ‘real life’ problem-solving. Students are able to build real-world problem-solving skills and lasting relationships with mentors and mentor organizations from the public, private, and non-profit sectors. It is an avenue for these students to remain active, engaged citizens throughout their lives.
