Learn about the X Talento Challenge

The X Talento Challenge is an entrepreneurship contest targeted at young people between the ages of 14 and 18, which promotes the development of projects that have a positive social impact on their environment.

It is a contest that fosters twenty-first-century competences: digitalisation, leadership, entrepreneurship, financial knowledge, creativity, decision-making, teamwork, etc. This is why, X Talento Challenge:

Encourages the participation of youths aged 14 to 18, from both schools and associations and other organisations, through a joint project with a social impact based on dialogic and cooperative learning.
Encourages everyone to listen actively through teams that include youths with and without disabilities.

FIRST PHASE

(17 January to 10 March 2023)

We are looking for teams with up to 8 participants (at least 2 with a disability; check legal conditions) with a supervisor (either a teacher, free-time monitor or other).
The work teams have to create an initial idea of their social impact project in a very simple way: they have to fill out the fields on the CANVAS SOCIAL template, which is available at in the private area.
In their private area, your supervisor (teacher or monitor) will find several resources and a guide that will help them to complete the fields in the deliverable template.

SECOND PHASE

(27 March to 8 May 2023)

The jury will choose 25 teams to go on to this phase, when they will receive individualised online training and mentoring to help them to download their project and prepare the next deliverable.
The XTalento Challenge seeks to encourage youths to get around and interact beyond their usual circles, as well as to foster inclusion. For this reason, in this phase each of the 25 teams must have 3 individuals with disabilities, so if until now they only had two persons with disabilities, they have to add another. To do so, they can get in contact with the contest organisers and we will help you. (Check the legal conditions).
Each work team must submit a roadmap to develop their projects with the help of the mentor they will be assigned and the template provided in the resources section of the private area.

THIRD PHASE. FINAL PHASE

(May-June 2023)

Of the 25 teams that will develop their projects, the Jury will choose the 3 winning teams, each of which will receive €6,000 as seed capital to launch their project, as well as different prizes for their members.
The announcement of the winning teams and the awards ceremony will be held in June 2023.

The 25 work teams that go on to the Second Phase will receive the help of a mentor to specify the key aspects of their social impact project. Each team will be assigned a professional mentor from the business world, from the Fundación ONCE or from the partner companies.

We want to participate and help our environment be simple, so the 25 teams chosen after the First Phase will receive online advice and training:

2 ONLINE TRAINING SESSIONS with the assigned mentor.
Audiovisual “THE SOFT WORK SKILLS OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY”
Audiovisual “WHAT IS SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP?”
audiovisual “KEYS TO WORKPLACE INCLUSION”

Whom X Talento Challenge for?

Who can participate?

The teams will be supervised by a supervisor who will guide them throughout the entire process, and who will register in the right registration form according to whether the group comes from a school, association or any other organisation with its own legal personality.
