H&M and Hello World! in continued partnership to inspire and empower underrepresented youth into STEAM fields
H&M continues to invest in the non-profit organization Hello World! when they renew their main partnership for a second year to support initiatives in STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) fields.
“We are thrilled to mark the second anniversary of our partnership with Hello World. Together, we make strides in providing quality STEAM education to those who need it most, and we are committed to continuing this journey. By empowering the next generation with the tools and knowledge they need, we are building a brighter, more sustainable future for all.", says Nopor Stuart, Head of Tech Sustainability at H&M.
Hello World! offers free courses in programming and digital creativity for children and youth. With H&M as main partner Hello World! will be able to continue to establish their After School program in socioeconomically vulnerable areas. Education within tech gives children and youth in these areas new possibilities for their future.
More than 1 600 children took part in Hello World!s activities during 2023. After School program now takes place in eight areas in Stockholm and Malmö.
“We are proud and excited that H&M has chosen to renew this important partnership. With H&M's great commitment to the STEAM-fields and the fact that collaborations require a longterm perspective, we can continue to create real social change and open the door for more kids where it’s most needed” says Maria Arneng, Secretary General at Hello World.
With the aim of democratizing access to education in tech, H&M and Hello World! see great opportunities in continuing creating impact together.
