What we do: Inclusion
The Foundation believes communitiy belonging holds a basic human value. Everybody should feel part of a community, and anyone can contribute to communities and to society.
Our aspiration is to provide pathways and invest in inclusive, uplifting communities for those who feel excluded.
“In 1968, when Poul Due Jensen set up one of the world's first privately held sheltered workshops, it created a new inclusive space for marginalised people. It was a new way of understanding human resources and the value of belonging to a community.“
We wish to address the following challenges:
- Exclusion – Too many are disconnected from education and employment.
- Well-being – Too many people struggle with mental health and don’t have a sense of belonging to social groups.
- Civil society – the nonprofit sector is challenged by widespread under-funding of organisational infrastructure that limits core operations and capabilities of organisations to deliver on the social agenda.
How we organise our response:
- Advancing inclusivity in the educational system and in workplaces.
- Investing in communities to unfold people’s potential and improve life-trajectories.
- Strengthening civil society through core funding for greater societal cohesion and social impact.
- Central Jutland is a focal point.
