Let's take responsibility to shape our future!
What are Future Leaders programs?
Future Leaders programs are collective learning journeys where we aim to develop more conscious leaders that are ready to take on the glocal challenges of tomorrow.
During a program we meet at highly participatory gatherings, filled with different exercises, presentations and challenges. Throughout, you are placed in a smaller group with a host, who has already been a participant in a previous year. This is to secure a safe learning environment where you can discuss, receive feedback and reflect openly. The host facilitates the program for the group, but is also an important mentor for the participants. Through the program you will learn techniques, gain self confidence, learn how to learn, how to develop others and how to develop yourselves.
Future Leaders programs are built on the latest leadership theory, with methods that are made to fit very diverse individuals. The most important work actually happens in between and after the gatherings, where you will turn your new knowledge into practice. Leadership is a lifelong process, where we see the programs as a stepping stone towards establishing a lifelong learning arena.
The program structure
A program consists of several gatherings focused on three main modules where we direct our attention: Self, Relations and Systems.
01 Self
Building your own foundation
We believe an effective leader today is a lifelong learner who is able to influence their own thoughts, feelings, will and behavior. So in the first gatherings, we direct our attention inwards to become aware of and work with our own behavior, thoughts, feelings and mental models. We work to accept our starting point, and to develop better personal strategies.
You will work on your ability to influence yourself to cope with everyday life, performance, growth, and moral maturation.

02 Relations
You in relations to others
We also believe that a future leader must be able to form healthy relations and collaborations. That is why the next gatherings are directed towards relational processes so you can develop your ability to form healthier relationships and more effective collaborations.
You will work towards getting a better understanding of yourself in relation to others and how you can enable strong relationships in your life that are able to collaborate on solving complex problems.

03 Systems
Navigating the world
Finally, we wish to enable future leaders to work towards solving systemic and complex problems we see in the world today. In the final gatherings we direct our attention towards the terrain, the systems, context and society that we are a part of.
We will work towards a better understanding of existing systems at various levels of complexity and how we can get better equipped to influence our societal systems in a better and more systainable direction.

Who is a Future Leader?
Future Leaders are not characterized by their position, accomplishements or status! Neither by their gender, age or nationality! Future Leaders are those who acknowledge that we as individuals have the ability to positively affect the world we live in. Even if it means improvements in your private-life or mindset, or by dedicating your life to fighting for sustainability. Future Leaders are those who wish to make ethical choices and work towards sustainability responsibly, no matter where you are.
Why should you apply?
