Our Purpose & Values
Our purpose is to support ways of living in harmony with nature, to strengthen local knowledge and co-creation, and to contribute to a participatory, inclusive sustainability transition. We see the climate crisis not only as an environmental issue but as a social, cultural and economic one - and we support individuals, communities and institutions in learning and acting together.
Our values
Harmony with Nature
We take the mutual bond between people and nature as our starting point, respecting ecological limits in all our work.
Participation
We believe sustainable solutions are only possible when different kinds of knowledge and experience come together.
Locality
We treat local knowledge and cultural heritage as essential ingredients of sustainable transformation.
Where Science Meets Practice
We bring academic knowledge together with field experience to produce practical, measurable solutions.
Solidarity & Partnership
We build strong partnerships with public bodies, local governments, producers, universities and civil society.
Continuous Learning & Innovation
Through Living Lab practices and co-design processes, we learn from experience and develop new methods.
