OUR PHILOSOPHY
Working at Pass the Crayon will be a unique experience. You will have the chance to bring your expertise and vision at the start of an organization and take credit for your own work. Pass the Crayon believes in a flexible, inclusive, empowering, and non-discriminating work environment, recognizing and giving credit to the work and talent of each of its collaborators. The organization is convinced that the working patterns provided nowadays are outdated, and therefore we aim to develop a management structure based on equality and collaboration among colleagues. Pass the Crayon recognizes, respects, and actively promotes individual differences, and that’s why the organization is not offering a rigid working model.
-
This means concretely that the organization places trust in each of its collaborators and gives them the possibility to freely manage their time and their duties.
-
This also means that the voice and opinion of each team members is valuable and will be heard at every level of responsibility.
Nowadays, conventional academic training and knowledge are often privileged, contributing to the strengthening of social inequalities and abandoning a significant portion of talented people. However, Pass the Crayon believes in the “learning by doing” process, and we welcome people who are self-taught and self-educated. Pass the Crayon is convinced that the strength of a team comes from the diversity of its members. Rather than exclude anyone, the organization wants to open its doors to every individual convinced of their abilities and allow everyone a chance to provide us with support.
