He sets the stage ablaze with his shows, and now he wants to ignite the creative spark in the next generation! Singer and composer Thomas de Pourquery takes the mic in our ‘Welcome Project’ video series to inspire tomorrow’s game-changers to take action.
Our ‘Welcome Project’ video series: sharing messages that inspire
Since 1984, the BNP Paribas Foundation has been proud to give power to those who take action.
To mark our 40th anniversary, we asked the artists we support to offer their message to future generations through video clips.
The aim is to energise the next generation of young people to continue to shift the needle to build a better, more caring, more sustainable society.
Get inspired by these artists’ uplifting, motivating messages to tomorrow’s movers and shakers:
“Doing what you love is much more powerful“
Life is a fantastic playground. Enjoy yourself, have fun, laugh and look after each other.
