ENGINEERING IMPACT
01
IDENTIFY
We find, support and convene the Nordic’s leading Change-makers. They are innovators who tackle pressing societal problems. They feel empowered to lead a change for the common good. They are Changemakers.
02
EMPOWER
We empower youth to self-identify as Changemakers and practice Change-making. We do this because we need new generations in charge of leading a world where Everyone is a Changemaker.
03
ENABLE
We unlock the potential of intrapreneurs in business, academia and policymaking to act as Changemakers. We build a community of allies to achieve greater impact and unleash Changemaker potential in everyone.
04
TRIGGER
We form and cultivate trigger communities - ecosystems - in which our Fellows, Young Changemakers and partners work together to shift mindsets and fix problems through systems changing solutions.
05
LEARN
Based on our groundbreaking work with our community we learn key insights into how to improve broken systems. Together, we share these insights to create change, and to create a world of Changemaking.
