TOUS ENTREPRENANTS

What TOUS ENTREPRENANTS does

Tous Entreprenants is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 2013, headquartered in Castelnau le Lez, France, that delivers entrepreneurial education programs to middle and high school students and their teachers. The association operates a portfolio of pedagogical formats: Start'Up Lycée & Collège is a 48-hour in-school startup creation experience linked to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals; Mon Super-Stage structures the mandatory seconde internship period with daily YouTube live sessions, group coaching, and an Exploration Journal; Imagin' 2030 is a single-day innovation challenge tied to the SDGs; Think and Make is a 12-week monthly-box program delivering methodology kits to student teams; and Water4Future is an international hackathon series co-created with UNESCO's International Water Center in Montpellier (ICIREWARD) since 2021. Programs are delivered by facilitators who hold dual roles as practicing entrepreneurs and teachers/lecturers in engineering schools, universities, or business schools, and are co-constructed with each school based on local territorial context. The association prioritizes fragile territories including rural areas and priority neighborhoods (quartiers prioritaires).

The business model is donation-driven: Tous Entreprenants operates as an association with 1-10 employees and is funded primarily through charitable contributions from individuals and organizations, supplemented by participatory financing (crowdfunding) campaigns on platforms such as HelloAsso, which offer tiered benefits from €10 (benefactor membership) up to €150 (premium individual coaching, limited to 30 units). Programs are distributed directly to schools through partnerships with school directors and teachers, supported by a territorial network of entrepreneurs who help organize programs in their regions. Programs are documented across 4 continents with cumulative reach of over 14,000 students and 800+ teachers since 2013, including the Start'Up Lycée program alone reaching 10,000+ students and 15,000+ young people trained in project development overall. The association is led by President Sidonie Farjon-Dematté and Director Sonia Braun, with a small team covering partnerships, pedagogy, challenge animation, and oral presentation training.
