New collaborations always start with dialogue

We believe that encounters with art may play a bigger role in the development of our society and strengthen people’s engagement with our democracy.   

We would like to talk more about that. So, if you have knowledge and ideas in this area, we would like to hear from you.  

Do you have a new collaboration on the drawing board that addresses challenges or unrealised potential in society for which art may make a difference?  

Then, you and your partners may get together and book a meeting through what we call Dialog:Koncept:Udvikling (Dialogue:Concept:Development). The collaboration must be between the fields of visual or performing arts and other sectors of society.  

Here, you may meet with our art team and get a quick assessment of whether your idea could be part of a future collaboration with financial help from us. At the meeting, you will present your development idea and the challenge or potential you wish to address.   

We are working to stop homelessness among young people, to create a better transition to adulthood for young people with a history of out-of-home care, and to help 43,000 young people who today have neither a job nor an education.  

You are always welcome to contact us if you know of challenges or unrealised potential for these 43,000 young people or for young people from out-of-home care or a background of homelessness on which we may work together. Or if you are in the process of creating new opportunities for young people but are meeting resistance – for example, where legislation, a system, or culture is proving an obstacle.  

We are working for more diverse wild nature. If you work in nature management or are starting a major, new biodiversity project, we would like to share our 20 years of experience.  

We are working to use nature in social programmes in Denmark. We are doing this through an effort called Natur til et godt liv (Nature for a Good Life) in which young people who are having a hard time get help and tools in nature. Are you interested in hearing more and, perhaps, being part of it? We are open to a dialogue.
