After three years of local impact Restart Network came to an end in May 2019. Read our story in our Impact Report

We Believe In People

Restart Network is a non-profit organization on a mission to accelerate diversity and inclusion in the European tech industry through a model we call the Crowdsourced School: connecting a community to build people together. We transform the lives of students from refugee, low-income, and minority in tech backgrounds, like women, who embark on an intense one-year journey into web development and personal growth to start a career in the tech industry and have a positive impact in Europe.

The Crowdsourced School

We believe that the resources to democratise world-class tech education are already there in hundreds of cities across the globe. Fundamentally, our model challenges an outdated idea: that it is the purpose of a single institution, the school, to educate people in a world of exponential growth. Instead, we create a stage in each community to connect hundreds of people and resources to build a school fit for our century.
