We are and do
Social Innovation

The Academy builds on member democracy, creates new equal relationships and transforms structures and mindsets by mobilizing a community across sectors.

We think, talk, share and act with long-term change in mind - one shared solution at a time.

We create opportunities for conversations that go deeper and take us to new places.
Where organizational interests take a back seat to the interests of the community.

Labs

All members of the academy meet four times a year for development labs held in different locations in Denmark. The purpose is to inspire and challenge members to come together to find solutions to the challenges they want to solve together.

At the labs, we experiment with different approaches to creating innovation and cross collaboration. We move around the country and are inspired by places, researchers, companies, organisations , etc. that can provide new perspectives and knowledge.

EMNER

We engage in communities of change
and establish those that are missing in society

NETWORKING EVENTS

Academy morning and afternoon events

Five to six times a year, we organize smaller networking events where we zoom in on a theme or current agenda that interests us and makes sense to discuss together.

Knowledge

We are present locally, nationally and internationally

We get involved where our members can make a difference - from large, national agendas such as health and well-being to smaller, local initiatives.

We continuously enter into partnerships and alliances across, for example, Forandringskraft, Paths for Everyone and Fremtidskoalitionen.

The Academy also works across Europe as a national competence center for social innovation.

We contribute to the social innovation knowledge

We continuously collect and disseminate our own opinion pieces, articles, reports - the knowledge that we ourselves are inspired by.

We are brave together

The Academy should be a place where we can air our big ambitions and try to make them real. We must have the courage to think big, to develop and test - and to fail. We learn from both our successes and our mistakes, and both are jointly owned by the Academy's members.
