Ignite the Quest.

A platform for projects in the Holy Land

The Quest, a CRETIO Foundation initiative, is a platform of projects in the Holy Land co-created by young professionals.

The goal is to connect young professionals in the Holy Land with peers worldwide and help them to co-create cultural, social, or economic projects that will have a direct local impact.

A world-wide network for the Holy Land

The idea is for small and local projects in different industries to start or grow in a situation where most of the attention is directed towards conflict and violence, and small projects are easily disregarded. The projects could have a social or cultural aim, as well as an economic or business impact goal.

The Quest follows a co-creation approach for organization and project generation. A “Core Team” of young international professionals supports the projects. Each project is co-created by a team of 4-6 young adults called a “Pod.” All Pods need to have at least one Holy Land local member.

Core Team.

The Core Team of “The Quest” is a dedicated group of young professionals from around the world. They bring diverse styles and innovative ideas to boost and support each project, ensuring alignment with our mission of creating meaningful social, cultural, and economic change. Committed to co-creation and local involvement, the Core Team empowers young leaders to make a lasting impact in the Holy Land.
