Get to know our mission, values, and the people behind our work.
SkillUp Slovakia is a non-governmental,
non-profit civic association established in 2025 in Čierny Brod, Slovakia. Our
organization was founded by a team of educators, youth workers, and community
leaders who share a common vision — to empower young people and schools with
the skills needed for a sustainable and inclusive future.
We focus on connecting formal and
non-formal education, supporting young people to develop green and digital
competences, and building bridges between schools, local communities, and
international partners.
Through trainings, youth exchanges,
workshops, and European projects (Erasmus+, ESC), we create learning
opportunities that strengthen employability, civic engagement, and
environmental responsibility.
Our work is guided by values of lifelong
learning, inclusion, and sustainability, aiming to inspire young people to
become active changemakers in their communities and beyond.
