ABOUT

US

The first step is education - shared, nurtured, and then developed.

We are social entrepreneurs, scattered across Europe and Afghanistan
- united by our mission to promote empowerment through digital education for youth around the world.

It’s about harnessing the transformative power of education!

We don’t just teach technical skills
- students develop a strong foundation that enables them to be life-long learners with an entrepreneurial mindset.

Startupistan nurtures analytical thinking, open-mindedness, resilience and adaptability and from there, we grow
together.

opportunities necessary to thrive in the digital economy and develop solutions to pressing local and global issues.
