A sustainable society is created collectively

Are you a leader with a mandate and do you want to create change, be challenged and think outside of the box?

WHAT DO YOU GAIN BY JOINING US?

A cross-sector community of action

As members of the Academy, we use our knowledge, courage, and determination to rethink and address complex societal challenges - challenges that can only be tackled through collaboration.

You will become part of a community of leaders where we strive to drive change in society as well as in our own businesses and organisations, engaging decision-makers and setting new agendas.

The academy members come from various backgrounds and represent a wide range of organisations. We see the potential in enhancing social innovation competence in Denmark and have a personal passion for staying updated on the latest knowledge about social innovation and systemic change.

Network, knowledge and national drive for change

As a member of the Academy, you become part of a community of socially engaged leaders from all sectors of society. You'll have access to the latest knowledge, inspiration and a unique development space where we find new paths for social change together.

Access to labs, events, and inspiration

We meet in the Academy for three annual social development labs, our big annual Open Academy event and smaller networking and inspirational events 4-6 times a year. In addition, innovation groups are regularly established around selected change agendas.

Mobilization of stakeholders and attention from decision-makers

The secretariat mobilizes members and engages societal relevant stakeholders, as well as plans and facilitates events and development processes. We ensure that the Academy's work receives attention and that it is connected to concrete societal challenges.

Who can become a member?

We believe that more people can do more. And that the Academy is stronger by having members with different backgrounds, experiences and industries. That's why we're always welcoming new members. To ensure the right skills, commitment and drive in the Academy, you must meet three criteria to become a member.
