To do this:

    education/”folkeoplysningen” and about the positive role that this sector plays in a democratic
    society.
  • We build alliances with other civil society organizations and with researchers and knowledge
    institutions.

    and foster innovation

  • We participate in European projects and other forms of international cooperation (Nordic,
    European and global)
