Our Mission

The betterplace lab opens up spaces for reflection, experience and experimentation for inner development and societal change. Because growth is not 'more of the same', but the unfolding of potential and relationships. We understand. We connect. We strengthen.

The betterplace lab is a non-profit laboratory for a sustainable society.

Civil society, with its diversity and creative potential, is a key driver of societal change. At the betterplace lab, we support civil society actors to explore and strengthen their individual skills and collective relationships, and to increase their collective impact. We believe that a conscious connection to ourselves, others and our environment is the basis for transformative societal change and collective growth.

Collaboration is at the heart of our work – as a counter-model to competition and fragmentation. We want to help embed this principle and develop its transformative power. To this end, we create spaces for research and experience, form alliances on relevant issues and support development processes – for and with our funding and cooperation partners.

We open spaces and build bridges – in people's minds, in organisations and in our society.
