leadership is something you learn by doing.
Future Leaders: A Movement for Change!
Welcome to the next chapter of Future Leaders. This is more than a course—it’s a movement of individuals committed to shaping a thriving future. Together, we challenge the status quo, empower each other with tools and networks, and lead with purpose in an ever-changing world.
Is this your moment?
Do you believe in the power of collective action? Are you ready to explore your unique ways of contributing to meaningful change? Are you willing to step into multiple roles—as a student, teacher, and leader—within a supportive community?
If so, this is your place.
How it Works
This immersive experience isn’t just about learning—it’s about discovering how you make a difference. Through hands-on practice and shared insights, you’ll not only expand your leadership capacity but also build the confidence to inspire and support the growth of others.
Starting in March 2025, you’ll be guided by participants from the previous iteration of the program. As part of their leadership journey, they will mentor and teach you, sharing their knowledge and experiences. This dynamic, “learning by doing” approach ensures that every participant contributes, grows, and evolves as a leader.
In the autumn, it will be your turn to step into the role of facilitator. Together with your peers, you’ll co-create and lead the next iteration of the program, passing on what you’ve learned and empowering a new group of future leaders to continue the movement.
What You’ll Learn
Through three interconnected modules, you’ll develop
the mindset, skills, and confidence to lead:
Self-Leadership
Discover your strengths, values, and unique contributions to the world.
Team Dynamics
Master collaboration and communication within diverse groups.
System Change
Learn to navigate complexity and drive impactful solutions.
By the end of the program, you’ll leave not only with a diploma but also with hands-on experience in facilitating and leading a real-world program. You’ll gain the tools, clarity, and network to continue leading in your unique way—and we’ll happily support your future opportunities as references.
Join us in this transformative journey of leadership,
collaboration, and meaningful action.

I believe that true change starts from within—when people feel connected to themselves and others, they unlock the capacity to contribute positively to the world. Future Leaders has helped me to learn how to turn this passion into action, building tools and strategies to support well-being and create meaningful impact. This program is an opportunity to grow as a person, learn from like-minded individuals, and develop the skills needed to inspire change, both in my own life and in the wider world. Leadership, to me, is about fostering connections, creating opportunities for growth, and working toward a better, healthier future for everyone. - Malte MetznerWhy I am a part of Future Leaders
I wanted to grow in my ability to contribute in a world in which we are faced with challenges, that surpass every one of us individually, may it be climate change, crisis of democracy or wars. I am convinced that these challenges can only be solved when working together, and becoming a part of Future Leaders helps me to get people together to make a relevant difference where one person couldn't. - Serena LekaWhy I am a part of Future Leaders
I love exploring innovative ideas, particularly in tech and sustainable energy, and I value authenticity and meaningful connections in everything I do. Joining Future Leaders is an exciting opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and challenge myself in new ways. I want to broaden my leadership skills, gain fresh perspectives on sustainable innovation, and grow my confidence as I continue navigating career transitions. This program offers a unique chance to refine my ability to drive impactful change while engaging with a community of passionate emerging leaders. To me, leadership is about fostering collaboration and forging paths that contribute to a better, more sustainable future for all. - Why I am a part of Future Leaders
I joined Future Leaders because I am passionate about life, advocating for mental health, and building meaningful connections. I strive to live with kindness, creating a safe space for others while learning to care for myself. This journey is about self-awareness, compassion, and growth—acknowledging emotions, overcoming challenges, and leading by example. Future Leaders provides an opportunity to develop these qualities further, explore new perspectives, and contribute to a culture of integrity, collaboration, and authentic care. For me, leadership means fostering environments where people feel valued, seen, and inspired to make a difference, and I am excited to be part of a community that shares this vision. - Una Svardal MaiseyCity CoordinatorWhy I am a part of Future Leaders

With a background in international politics, I’m deeply passionate about understanding and addressing global challenges. Joining Future Leaders represents an opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals who share a commitment to tackling this. In Future Leaders, I learn new perspectives, develop leadership skills, and refine my ability to drive positive change. My favorite part of being in Future Leaders is to be a community that shares this vision and works toward a better future for all. - Ramona AugustWhy I am a part of Future Leaders
I’m a dreamer with a heart full of ideas—visions that feel too expansive to be carried by one person alone. My passion lies in creating, collaborating, and bringing people together to make the seemingly impossible, possible. I often find myself in leadership roles, not just because of the scope of my dreams, but because I care deeply about how they come to life—with integrity, joy, and shared purpose. I joined Future Leaders to grow into the kind of leader who inspires and uplifts, who builds teams where people feel valued and connected. For me, leadership isn’t just about achieving goals; it’s about nurturing a culture rooted in ethics, care, and the kind of collaboration that turns visions into legacies. - Knut Gjendem FjørtoftWhy I am a part of Future Leaders
Joining Future Leaders is an opportunity for me to grow as a leader and connect with a community of like-minded individuals passionate about creating positive change. What I admire most about this organization is its focus on fostering supportive and inspiring environments where everyone’s voice is valued. Having experienced the impact of both great and poor leadership, I want to develop the skills to motivate and uplift others, ensuring that workplaces and communities are spaces where people can thrive. Future Leaders represents a chance to learn, grow, and contribute to meaningful change. -

Why I am a part of Future Leaders
The community I found really helped me forward, and left me with a feeling that I helped them as well. Learning leadership skills tailored to the risks and challenges humanity will face in the future has been surprisingly easy to adapt into every aspect of my professional life, as well as my personal life. Truly listening, sharing experiences, trust and true vulnerability with others, and a multitude of other experiences I got through Future Leaders has really shaped me as a person, and my ambitions for the future.

Being involved in Future Leaders as a participant, host, and now a city coordinator has been a transformative experience, continually teaching me about myself. What I cherish most about this organization is its open and honest community. It fosters discussions and topics that might otherwise remain unexplored, allowing everyone to express their true selves. It is a positive space that brings together individuals committed to driving meaningful change in the world.
