TO BE FOUND IN COPENHAGEN AT

European Bildung Network
Next Scandinavia is my own company, Nordic Bildung is the think tank I co-founded with a wonderful group of people. Here I do my thinking and writing, I organize and host workshops and conferences, and I develop thought provoking keynotes for a global audience.
In the European Bildung Network, we promote bildung across the continent. Networks on other continents are in the pipeline…

Bildung
Keep Growing
Report to the Club of Rome, 2020
Bildung is moral and emotional maturity. Bildung is also to have the education and knowledge necessary to thrive in your society; bildung is to be deeply embedded in culture and community while having the autonomy to carve your own path in life. Bildung is always personal and unique

Testimonials
Don’t take my word for it – here’s what people say:
Eminently sharp, well presented and with a dash of satire. LRA grasps the very big narratives and elegantly links them to the current context for the presentation and our conference: educational guidance during a paradigm shift. LRA’s introductory keynote gave us a start, which lifted the entire conference right from the beginning.
Pia Vigh
Youth Guidance Denmark
When several students announce excitedly that they have plenty of notes from the presentation that they need to investigate further, I know that the presentation has been a success.

Scandinavian Design College
This was so exciting, I just kept knitting and now the sock is too long…
