VTW Technorama – Business Partnership

The VTW Technorama – Business Partnership is the equivalent of Friends of Technorama for firms, companies and selected non-profit organizations.

The VTW promotes the understanding and enthusiasm of young people for natural sciences and technology and thus supports the obtainment and development of a modern science and economy. For that purpose, it provides financial resources to Technorama, in particular for all school offerings.

In fact, Technorama is Switzerland's largest extracurricular place of learning, attracting around 70,000 schoolchildren every year. However, the focus of the numerous offers in the exhibitions and laboratories is not on conveying factual knowledge, but on the so-called 21st Century Skills, which are not only incorporated in many curricula, but also shape the educational policy agenda of the OECD.

These 21st Century Skills include the four C's: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication. It is these skills that enable young people to help shape social and economic progress. The VTW Technorama – Business Partnership is aware of the importance of 21st Century Skills for Switzerland as a research and business location.
