Our story
In 2002, Vladimir Mladjenovic participated in a study abroad program that changed his life forever. Having grown up in an isolated country under international sanctions during a civil war, it was his first trip abroad. Surrounded by students from more than 25 countries, Vladimir was exposed to a world of diverse cultures, perspectives, and ideas. At the time, he barely spoke English but was eager to learn from others and share his own experiences.
However, the journey was not without challenges. He encountered prejudices from others, many of whom held universalized views about his country and people based on media portrayals. At the same time, he confronted his own preconceived notions about the world. That program opened a door to a world he didn’t know existed and became the foundation of his life’s mission.
Inspired by this transformative experience, Vladimir founded Tomorrow People Organization to create similar opportunities for others. His vision was to provide a platform for individuals to express themselves, share their unique perspectives, and learn from the richness of global diversity. He often describes this experience as taking a "loan from the Universe," one he felt compelled to repay by empowering others to build bridges across cultures, challenge biases, and foster mutual understanding.
Since its inception, Tomorrow People Organization has grown into an internationally recognized platform, hosting academic conferences, educational programs, and global networking events. Over the years, the organization has welcomed participants from more than 100 nationalities, fostering cross-cultural collaboration and inspiring transformative change.

We’ve partnered with One Tree Planted to plant trees!
