Help a teenager see their strengths — in action, not in a questionnaire.
Nova Polis is a four-hour facilitated simulation in which a teenager builds a city in a team. Afterwards, the participant and their family receive a personal report and a career map — a starting point for a conversation about who they are becoming, not a verdict on who they must be.
What the participant receives
- Game experience: 4 hours of live team simulation — negotiation, resource trading, strategy, city of 3D models.
- Competency profile: 12 competencies from three perspectives — self, peers, facilitator. See not only strengths but also the gap between how the teenager sees themselves and how others see them.
- Career map: future professions with match score, demand trend and honest “what to develop next”. Not a verdict — a map of options.
- Learning pathways: university directions and programmes matching the profile.
- Next steps, not just scores: recommended projects, cases and mentors to test and strengthen what the report shows. YTAA's responsibility begins with the debrief — not ends with it.

Safety and data
We work with minors, so data protection is part of the product: informed parental consent; limited retention periods; results are never transferred to universities or employers without explicit consent; the report is a recommendation, not a diagnosis or admission decision. When interests conflict, the young person's interests, dignity and long-term development come first — before schools', partners' or parents' preferences.
For schools
Format: session for 15–25 participants at the school or partner venue, 3–5 certified facilitators, all equipment included. Sponsored and scholarship places are available — contact us if budget is limited.
