TechMeUp Foundation is a not-for-profit training fund that focuses on increasing access to digital training for under-represented groups in tech, by removing financial barriers.

Uncertain times like these demonstrate the importance of having digital skills. It is, therefore, necessary to be able to retrain yourself. But, unfortunately, this is not within reach for everyone as not everyone can afford this.

| Digital transparency and open government |
Open State Foundation (OSF) is an independent non-profit foundation, whose mission is to contribute to a digitally transparent government and thus a verifiable and vital democracy.

To achieve open government, OSF is working on making information available from public institutions such as open data, and promoting the reuse of that data by citizens, journalists, civil society organizations, artists, scientists, civil servants, policymakers and representatives.

Moreover, thanks to open data, analyzes can be made and new insights can be obtained that lead to better-equiped decision-making, both politically and economically. At the same time, open data is the key to new, innovative applications that enrich society and create economic or creative value.

Above all, however, access to government data is vital for a healthy and modern democracy. Minder weergeven

But who do not easily find their way around in the dominant literary and cultural-scientific discourse.

dNBg has the mission to do for the Dutch language area what The New York Review of Books (NYRB), The London Review of Books (LRB) and the Times Literary Supplement (TLS) do for the English language area.

dNBg offers book essays at the intersection of science, art and culture, by renowned writers and scientists - and by new talent. dNBg, published both on paper and digitally, is created by a team of young editors under the direction of founding publisher and editor-in-chief Merlijn Olnon, and published on a non-profit basis under the management of Foundation De Nederlandse Boekengids (a cultural ANBI).

(The name of the Foundation is inspired by the Bèma (Greek for "exaltation") in Pnyx, the hill where the democratic assembly of Athens first came together in the fifth century BC at the stone platform from which speakers like Aristides, Perikles and Demosthenes spoke to their countrymen.)

Operation "Diagnosis"
After its establishment in 2010, an attempt was first made to make a "diagnosis" of the status quo of the public debate. To this end, an expert meeting was held under the direction of Alexander Rinnooy Kan. In preparation for the meeting, Paul Scheffer wrote an essay entitled "Sources of Discomfort" on behalf of the foundation. Finally, the outcomes of the meeting have been laid down in a thematic report with recommendations.

Operation "European Press Prize"
The European Press Prize (EPP) was the Foundation's first project and after in-house development has been placed with the Democracy and Media Foundation (SDM) with the participation of the Reuters Foundation. The first EPP was awarded in 2013 in De Balie, then in London, Copenhagen, Prague and again Amsterdam, see http://www.europeanpressprize.com/

Operation 'Make Media Great Again'
Since 2017 the foundation has been participating in the anti-fake news initiative with the working title "Make Media Great Again", see http://www.mmga.io/en/
With the support of the SIDN Fund, a prototype is being developed that can be used to make visible on the internet - with the help of blockchain technology - the history of a particular (news) source in order to prevent fake news,

“Today a reader, tomorrow a leader.” - Margaret Fuller.

The VoorleesExpress (http://voorleesexpressamsterdam.nl/) ensures that children with a language deficiency receive extra attention. For half a year a volunteer comes to their home to read. Together with the parents, we strive to ensure that language and reading pleasure have a permanent place in the family. From my own experience as a volunteer reader, I have seen the enormous positive impact this has on a child's personal and cognitive development. They become more confident, sometimes because they now have a role model in their environment and sometimes because they are actually more confident in how they understand the world around them and are able to express their thoughts.

Making the Surinamese slave registers public is the aim of the project that Radboud University Nijmegen and Anton de Kom University of Suriname are carrying out together with volunteers. The 43 parts of the slave registers contain per plantation or private owner the names of almost all people who lived in slavery in Suriname between 1830 and 1863, along with information about birth, death, sale and release. With public support and that of organizations such as the Prince Bernard Culture Fund, National Institute for Dutch Slavery Past and Heritage (NiNsee) and the Democracy and Media Foundation, the information from the scans is made available to the public and for scientific research. This makes Dutch slavery past visible and negotiable.
