About
In Future Leaders we know that leadership is something you learn by doing.
Our story
We as Future Leaders embrace the process of rethinking the world around us. We seek opportunities to be playful, proactive, and drive positive change. To continuously co-create a thriving world with the people around us. Because we live in a time of transition. And we also live in the best time ever: now.
It is safe to say that we live in the best time in human history. And it is also true that we are facing some of the biggest challenges ever known to humankind. In order to tackle these challenges we need new solutions, ideas, and supporting systems. And to create these, we need to come together as active citizens and leaders - both locally and globally.
For us as Future Leaders, leadership is not a role we get. It is a choice to take responsibility. Our friends, our family, our generation, and future generations need us to take action: To be proactive and collaborate across boundaries, networks, communities, organizations, and societies.
We are people from all over the world coming together and creating change. We share a common belief that there must be a better way. By respecting and building on the ideas and achievements of previous generations we do our part to build a thriving future.

We acknowledge that every person has a different background, story, needs, and dreams. We meet everyone open, curious, and with compassion.02 - We leave the place better than when we arrived
We strive to have positive effects on the world around us. We listen with intent, show appreciation to the people around us, and treat our surroundings respectfully.03 - We think global and act local
We understand that we live in a connected world, both physical and digital. We engage locally and globally, driving positive action in our surroundings with a global understanding in mind.04
Future Leaders - Team
- Tilmann StolteWhy I am a part of Future Leaders:
With a background in innovation management, I've always been fascinated by the opportunities of the future. Future Leaders combines the perspectives of self-reflection and vision-building in a strong way, allowing for conscious decision-making that gives us collectively the chance to be more proactive and less reactive in our lives. As a result, we can drive meaningful change, both individually and for the people around us. Exploring these spaces together with others in an open, vulnerable way is a transformative experience that continuously shapes the perspective on myself and the world around me. - Elin NørveWhy I am a part of Future Leaders:
We as a global society are in desperate need of solving the biggest challenges of our time. Developing leaders that can take on some of these is one of the most efficient ways to work for a better and brighter future. - Fiete BrunkWhy I am a part of Future Leaders:
Years in AIESEC really made it stick: Leadership is the fundamental solution to all issues. With this at heart, it was only natural to get hooked by Future Leaders — an organization that has leadership development at its core. I love to move humans, organizations, and society forward. For this, their systemic interrelations and inner workings have to first be uncovered and then transformed sustainably. That's another thing I love about Future Leaders: people here are equally passionate about each of the three levels and thrive on new insights into how to 'hack' systems. - Fredrik Aa. LowzowWhy I am a part of Future Leaders:
I am passionate about the opportunity to co-create a society where individuals take more responsibility, culminate intellectual honesty, critical thinking, openness, empathy and direct communication for better collaboration. I believe that we as human beings are - and become - better together. That the most effective way to develop oneself is by being vulnerable and inviting others into your process, for supporting and challenging - through love, compassion and accountability. - Gelilah HoffWhy I am a part of Future Leaders:
In today's fast paced world, modern leadership is more important than ever. We need leaders who can adapt to change, build strong relationships with their teams, and create a culture of inclusivity and collaboration. That's where Future Leaders comes in - an impact-focused leadership development program that's all about cultivating the conscious leaders of tomorrow. I am here because I am ready to take my leadership skills to the next level and be part of a community of positive change-makers. - Ingeborg Vale OpdalWhy I am a part of Future Leaders:
I have taken part in various leadership trainings since I was 15, and later conducted trainings for others both through volunteer work and in my career, mainly for international groups. Throughout my life I have experienced the immense impact leaders have on their teams (both good and bad) and also the significance we all have in our daily life on our societies. I am passionate about people, communication and cultures and discovering the potential of the individual to create the surroundings and society they want to be part of. Through my work with Future Leaders Global I want to help people develop their interpersonal skills and their ability to be active members of society and create the future they want! - Levinia Landin SorroneWhy I am a part of Future Leaders:
I gained so much from being a participant in Future Leaders in Copenhagen 2019, and it was a no-brainer to continue to be part of this great community. I believe that we as humans have a greater power within ourselves to create a positive impact - be it for yourself, the people around you, or society as a whole. What I enjoy about being part of FL today is that I can harness the power of marketing and communication for something good and impactful. And of course, continue to learn and grow with amazing people! - Nina WaageWhy I am a part of Future Leaders:
As a highly curious soul, I have always been intrigued by humans, how we co-exist and relate to the floating marble we like to call "our planet". My curiousness drove me to a degree in climate physics, but to tackle current deep and fundamental challenges, science is not enough. We need engaged voices to speak up and take proactive and conscious choices everywhere. How do we motivate people to take action and shift into the uncomfortable? For me, Future Leaders is a big part of this solution. It's a space where everyone is welcome to co-create solutions and it feels like home. - Stine Øksnes VornesWhy I am a part of Future Leaders:
What I love about Future Leaders is that it is for everyone. It doesn't matter if you want to become the next Secretary-General of the UN, the best football coach for girls 14 or the best version of yourself. As long as you want to drive positive change and have an impact on your world FL is something for you. Because the truth is that we are all leaders, first and foremost in our own personal life. So if we all take one step towards change in our own world it will have a big impact on the world as a whole. - Zark JanjuaWhy I am a part of Future Leaders:
I strongly believe in the cause of driving positive change in this world. The impact the Future Leaders programs are having on people is continuously an amazing experience to me.
