Social innovation is about community. When we engage and mobilize people, we can create a more sustainable society for future generations

TOPICS IN THE ACADEMY

New opportunities for social change

In the Academy, we develop new ideas and ways to address systemic societal challenges - and come together for collective action.

Through our collective agency, we drive change that pushes practice and policy processes. We insist on involving the people affected by the problems and we challenge existing power relations and decision-making processes.

Right now, we are working with the theme "Mobilizing for Welfare". Among other things, we are exploring the future concept of welfare in relation to climate and human resources.
