The foundation
The RELIFE Foundation embodies the founding values of RELIFE, and puts them into action. The foundation was created with the aim of building a bridge between the academic world and the non-profit sector, offering students the opportunity to actively participate in social impact projects. Through our foundation, RELIFE students can experience, grow and actively contribute to the improvement of society.
Our Mission
Our mission is clear: we want to give the leaders of the future the opportunity to experience an environment where social innovation and responsibility join forces. We seek to give students the opportunity to put their skills to the test in real and meaningful contexts.
What we offer
Field training:
Direct involvement of students in social projects
Collaboration with the non-profit sector:
Creating synergies with NGOs, associations and social enterprises
Support for social entrepreneurship:
Incubation of innovative ideas to tackle social challenges
RELIFE Good Time
The Relife GoodTime project enables students to turn their free time into an added value. By participating in local social projects, their passions can make a direct difference in the community. Every moment they dedicate to these initiatives is rewarded with ReLifeTimeTokens (RTT), a points-based system that opens the door to exclusive services and special benefits on campus. It is not only a way to contribute to the common good, but also to grow, learn and transform one's education.
