About

We have combined leadership, sustainability and impact creation in an eight-month development programme (August 2020 – April 2021), inviting young professionals to realise their very own sustainability impact plan. We are here to provide you with the knowledge, inspiration and skills to become a force for change.

During the online programme, you will receive the necessary tools to realise the change you envision. We invite ambitious young professionals (23 – 33 yrs) to team up and rise to the Nudge Global Impact Challenge.

Theme 2020: Prosperity for all

Young leaders building a better world for people and our planet

When aiming for prosperity for all, we work towards a world in which there is no poverty. A world where inequalities are reduced. Where education, healthcare and basic human rights, such as clean water and sanitation, are accessible for everyone.

However, this must be done within the planetary boundaries. The ‘all’ have to include future generations and all species that are dependent on, and crucial for our planet’s ecosystem.

To accomplish this there is a need for leaders who work together towards a sustainable and inclusive future. Leaders who are not afraid of change, but rather see it as a powerful tool to create impact towards a world they want to live in. To achieve well-being for all.

Who are we looking for?

Young professionals with the ambition to change the world for the better and eager to create the impact they envision. Does this sound like you? Then read on!
