Play
Remember that time as a kid where everything was novel and exciting?
We bring this feeling back and connect through play, fun, and joy. Which, scientifically proven, leads to more creativity and higher learning retention.

Ground
The connection to our full, authentic self is super important for our emotional and physical well-being. Yet, how often do we take the time to actually connect with ourselves in a meaningful way? Well, here we do.
The Playground
Two-day theme-based workshops
Traditional business and the idea of unlimited growth is coming to an end. Instead, alternative ways of working and living are gaining massive momentum.
From regeneration, technology, societal development, social entrepreneurship, to responsible business: The Playground explores progressive ideas in a mix of inspiration, self-reflection, skill development, and community-based connecting.
We use the latest research, experience-based practicing, and bring in arts, music, and movement for a holistic learning journey.
Do you want to explore forward-leaning knowledge, get to know inspiring people, and be ready to bring your professional skills onto the next level?

FAQ
We created the Playground because we were missing a space to playfully connect and explore progressive ideas. There are so many cool people out there, doing so many cool things. We want to bring these people together, to talk, learn, develop, and connect with each other. As a community. If that thought resonates with you, then the playground is the right space for you!

The Playground is for people with more than three years of work experience. That's it.
We celebrate diversity in industry, gender, culture, age. Because that creates a great vibe and great conversations.

The Playground is running every three months. We start with a pilot in Oslo, Norway, and plan to branch out into different countries in 2024. If you want your city to be part, let us know at programs@futureleadersglobal.com.
Short answer, no.
We get that question a lot. We differentiate between leaders and managers:
Leaders are proactive, have a vision, go into the unknown, and are able to invite people onto a shared journey. Managers are responsible for the effective use of resources.
Both are important. But our programs focus on leadership. So you don't need to be a manager with people responsibility to join. You just need to be willing to step into the unknown.

Yes. The Playground qualifies as leadership development and can be covered by your employer.
If you have a learning budget available you can easily book a seat and reimburse with your company. In case you don't have a learning budget available you can ask your manager to join as part of your development plan.
We are happy to assist in the process, and if you would like us to talk to your employer/manager directly, please reach out to programs@futureleadersglobal.com.

Collaboration skills
The way the Playground is set-up is all about learning with and from other people. This develops openness and empathy for new perspectives and how to hold the space for other people's opinions (even if they are completely different than ours). These are incredibly valuable skills in any team.
Leadership tools
In every Playground we, directly or indirectly, practice our leadership mindset and skills. This will not only equip you to be more proactive, conscious, and confident at work, it will also positively impact the people around you.
Future-proof your work
We don't know what we don't know. So we learn together about the opportunities of the future. Become better prepared for changes and challenges of an ever-evolving business landscape. And you can bring that knowledge back into your team and inspire others.
Creativity and Innovation
Engaging in an environment that promotes playfulness, exploration of progressive ideas, and different perspectives can ignite creativity, and it can give you the opportunity to introduce fresh approaches to challenges within the workplace.
Happiness
We all crave learning, development, and great experiences. Getting out of the office, meeting new people, doing something for yourself will make you more happy and balanced. And you come back to work with more energy.

We want to make learning accessible for everyone. At each Playground we offer five seats for people that cannot afford the full program fee. If this applies to you, please reach out to us and tell us briefly about your situation at programs@futureleadersglobal.com.
We offer Vipps and invoicing as payment options.
Companies can get VAT back, while private individuals cannot. Which we find a bit tricky. What if your workplace doesn't support your training and you have to pay privately? That's why we lowered the prices for private individuals to make the Playground accessible for everyone.
