Our vision
Build the world you want to live in.
Circularity, the new normal
The Stars Are Circular Foundation envisions a world in which Circular Economy is a reality, where people can live in prosperity within cohesive local communities and without harming the planet. This is not just a wish for the future but a current -and urgent- matter we need to address. Now.
Empowering Kids To Be Circular Stars

Play, Create, Share, Change, Shine
Through the enhancement of social, creative and entrepreneurial skills, we ensure kids have both the mindset and the skill set to flourish in the Circular Economy.
Purpose and Engagement for the 21st century
Circularity as a topic contributes value in huge amounts to any educational program: Its big scope of application makes it flexible and adaptable to work alongside the whole rainbow of 21st century skills, while at the same time creating a significant connection with real world issues.

How we work
We are definitely not a regular Foundation. Here's why.
Keep on moving
The way we work resembles the fast pace, ever changing, collaborative environment of a startup.
Talk less and do more
We have a pro-active and hands-on oriented approach, we set attainable goals and execute on them in collaboration with others. We roll our sleeves and get things done.
Be the first, and be humble
We are frontrunners and because of that we are always learning by doing. We discover new things around every corner, just like kids do..
Be the change
We -try- to walk the talk and dream big, fueled with passion and commitment to our mission.
Connect
Every project we undertake is a collaborative effort. We are connectors at heart and frequently step outside our bubble to forge new and lasting relationships.
The team
Our team is formed by a permanent Board and a group of enthusiastic collaborators and experts, that volunteer on a project-basis.

People + Culture
We are growing and we definitely can’t do it alone. We organize several projects a year along our 3 main areas, and for all that to happen we need the power of people.

Funding and Organisation
Any growing organisation needs strong roots. As our role in society grows we need to organise ourselves in a way to be mindful of and compliant with rules and regulations too.
Connectors
What would we do without connection, uh? Connection with each other, with earth, with ourselves. Our connectors are the heart and soul of the Foundation, they help us make our dreams come true while enjoying the ride, they are the friends we chose to share a morning coffee or friday evening -ginger- beer. Or both!

Experts
Every time we need to tackle a challenge, we turn to an expert on the field, people with high skills and tons of knowledge to share. And like that, we have slowly built an invaluable network that pushes us forward.
