Partnership approach
We encourage our partners’ direct involvement in ToBe:– Visits to centres (we facilitate, host, create workshops as
needed)– Digital exchanges with the children (“ask a kid”)– Skills transfer (per project, or adhoc through phone, internet
etc)
We enjoy helping our partners reach their goals :– Fundraisers to help our partners connect with their customers– Events to motivate and inspire our partners’ employees – Test marketing for new ideas / concepts (Deloitte e Learning)– Joint communication and press exposure
We create a tailormade approach with each partner
