Today’s world is dividing socially and politically, environmentally and technologically, leading to growing inequalities, escalating conflicts, and new forms of global tension. As a consequence, we often find ourselves overwhelmed and unsure of how best to act, for ourselves, for our communities and for the world at large.

At the Initiative Forum 2026, we will explore how to navigate the complexities of being a human being in this era where power is concentrated in the hands of a few and our lives are shaped by artificial intelligence. The event, Resisting Inaction, Resilience In Action, is more than a theme- it is an urgent call to action. Over four days, we will gather in Ytterjärna, Sweden, as a global community of activists, philosophical-thinkers, youth, artists, and change agents! We will be hosted in lectures, workshops, music events, and shared meals. We will question: What the world is asking from us right now? And together, we will build capacities and courage needed to respond.
