Hi, my name is Aimane Idhajji, 22 years old, and I am the Co-Founder of L'blend
Hi, my name is Youness Idihoum, 20 years old, and I am the Co-Founder of L'blend
And today, we are going to talk to you about
L'blend
“L'blend”, a Moroccanised version of the english word: “The Blend”
We blend art, technology and entrepreneurship
In my city of Tiznit,  there are a lot of youngsters who
express themselves through music and theater
which are two beautiful and very important artistic shapes
but, we, in L'blend,  want to expose them
to a diversity of arts forms for them to realize
that they can express themselves through them
so they don't block themselves
and create restriction for themselves, by themselves
In our daily life, technology is changing our lifestyle
and in the future it is expected for it to radically change
the way humans interact
and how they conduct their lives
and among the World Economic Forum stats
says 65% of children attending school today
will work in jobs that don't currently exist
that's why, we, in L'blend
will use technology to prepare those future generations
to the changes the world expects
and according to a statistic conducted by
the High Commissioner for Planning
says 45% of youth in the urban area are unemployed
and when we analyze our entourage
we understand that one of this issue's reasons
is waiting on external factors to create job opportunities for them
that's why, in L'blend, we adopted entrepreneurship
as a result to this problem
because we will encourage youth to create their own job opportunities
for themselves and their peers
for our project to succeed
and especially during our first year
we need to cover all fixed expenses of the space we are trying to create
and to cover those expenses
we are looking for 30 donor members
who will donate an amount of 1200MAD each
for the total sum to cover all year expenses
rent, water and electricity bills, internet
and then we will focus on securing sponsorship and funding
from private companies and, international and national funds
that will allow us equip the space
for it to be adequate to the activities we try to organise
our goal in L'blend is to produce the type of youth
that is balanced, motivated, and passionate
and we expect to reach that through around 200 activity
that will, of course, be held along the year
divided on the pillars we mentioned earlier
which are: art; technology, and entrepreneurship
and these activities that we will hold in L'blend
will help youth develop and strengthen certain, important, skills
Such as the ability to analyze
and critical thinking
and the ability to build a personality and an identity
all this can be resumed to three keywords  or steps
the first is: Expose
as we try to expose our youth to knew things
the second is: Reflect
as we give youth the time to choose what is suitable for them
and come up with their own results
and the third is: Produce
meaning we will not stop at the education step
but our youth will be producing their own stuff
