					<description><![CDATA[Supporting young talent in their studies, so that a lack of resources is never a barrier to excellence.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The <a href="https://infinite.study/" data-type="link" data-id="https://infinite.study/">INFINITE non-profit programme</a> enables talented students from modest backgrounds to access the most demanding courses and succeed in them. Recognising that talent is universal but access to opportunities is not, INFINITE is committed to removing the financial, social, and cultural barriers that hinder access to excellence.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To this end, INFINITE has developed a unique model combining a zero-interest student loan with no guarantor — made possible thanks to the support of dedicated donors — and personalised mentoring from professionals who have achieved excellence in their fields. Students also benefit from structured support and a dedicated community that provides access to networks, advice, and opportunities crucial to their future.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At the heart of the INFINITE model lies the principles of solidarity and sustainability: once students have established themselves professionally, they gradually repay their loan, thereby helping to fund the studies of new generations of students. This mechanism turns every contribution into a sustainable lever capable of guiding more and more talented individuals towards their desired career paths.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The MAD Foundation provides financial support to INFINITE to help roll out its student loan programme and fund its structural and operational needs. This enables the organisation to continue its development and expand its impact.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Student quote: <em>&#8220;</em><em>Without INFINITE, my admission to HEC Paris would have remained a dream, shattered by an insurmountable financial barrier. Thanks to their trust and the support of donors, a door that money threatened to close has opened up a possible future.&#8221; </em>Hidaya, promo of 2024</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Support for the Ecole de Danse de l'Opéra national de Paris in organising an international event.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With a history spanning over 350 years, the Paris Opera offers each season a lyrical and choreographic program at the highest level of excellence, at the Palais Garnier and Opéra Bastille. The institution pursues three fundamental missions: creation – at the very heart of its activities – openness to all audiences – through an accessible pricing policy, dedicated arts and cultural education programs, tours, and performance broadcasts – and the transmission of its knowledge and expertise – contributing to the enrichment of a shared heritage, notably through its Academy, which hosts singers and instrumentalists in residence, and its Ballet School.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through its contribution to the AROP’s Cercle Taglioni (Circle of Patrons) since 2024, the MAD Foundation supports the Paris Opera Ballet School in fulfilling its key missions: education, by accompanying the talents of all students, irrespective of their background or circumstances; stage experience, through ambitious seasonal programming and enriching the School’s repertoire; work environment, by supporting the School’s health department; and finally outreach, by backing recordings and broadcasts of performances, masterclasses, and international exchanges.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://www.homespeth.be/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.homespeth.be/">Home Philippe Speth&#8217;s</a> mission is to provide long-term accommodation and social and medical support to young adults aged 12 to 18. Most of these young people have grown up in challenging environments and, as a result of physical or psychological abuse, have been placed in this care center to recover and develop a professional plan through personalized guidance.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The MAD Foundation supports Home Philippe Speth by financing leisure activities outside the home for each of the 29 young adults in their care. Each young person has an annual budget of €150 to €200 and must justify their expenses based on the activity they choose, thereby enhancing their sense of responsibility and autonomy.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[Encouraging young people to write]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://academiesciencesmoralesetpolitiques.fr/fondations/fondation-pour-lecriture/">La Fondation pour l&#8217;Écriture</a> brings together various sponsors – companies and individuals – seeking to encourage writing practices. Created in France, where nearly 12% of young adults between the ages of 16 and 25 have reading difficulties, the Foundation particularly supports the work of <em>Labo des histoires</em>, which is dedicated to helping the writing practices of children, adolescents and young adults under the age of 25. Since 2011, they&nbsp; have offered free writing workshops in order to develop their taste for writing and reading, imagination, and creativity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The MAD Foundation supports <em>Labo des histoires</em> to extend its offering throughout France, to coordinate its branches, promote educational tools, and implement four major writing programs each year. &nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Through <em>Labo des histoires</em>, it supports the <a href="https://jaimeadire.fr/" data-type="link" data-id="https://jaimeadire.fr/">Jaime à dire</a> programme, a project also run by the Fondation Engagement Médias pour les Jeunes and Graine d&#8217;Orateur to promote eloquence among young people aged from 14 to 30 in France. The operation resulted in a <a href="https://www.france.tv/spectacles-et-culture/5688537-j-aime-a-dire.html" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.france.tv/spectacles-et-culture/5688537-j-aime-a-dire.html">programme </a>produced and shown by France Télévisions in December 2023, and will be repeated every year at the same time.</p>
