Phoenix Space

Phoenix Space was created to address the consequences of a lost generation among refugee youth. While filming a documentary about refugee children’s aspirations, we realized many of their dreams will not be fulfilled if they do not have inspirations, tools and opportunities. Over 40% of Syrian refugee youth of school age do not have access to secondary education, and less than 3% are able to pursue higher education. In response to this need, we created the Phoenix Space project - an exceptional STEM education model for disadvantaged communities, based on the central theme of space and space science, combining mathematics, electronics, physics and project management. During the course of the project, students will gain important skills and knowledge, develop partnerships with employers. The project will culminate in launching into space a satellite that will not only be partially constructed and programmed by the students but will also broadcast their message into space! We hope to inspire students and the wider community with this narrative of students building and launching a satellite, aiming for the stars! We truly feel that this initiative would be a unique opportunity for the science and technological sector to contribute towards solving the problems of the humanitarian crisis. By becoming a sponsor of Phoenix Space 2020 you will greatly benefit from a wide range of intangible and tangible opportunities. You have a unique chance to associate your brand with a unique educational program combined with actual satellite launch. By doing so, you will be positioned among the institutions that support education, peace, diversity and integration. We would be happy to discuss your needs and offer other options that are attractive for you.
