Democracy, Opportunity, Citizenship:
A Moonshot for Flourishing Individuals and Communities

At the Institute for Salutogenesis, we're driven by a bold vision: a world where every individual, regardless of background, has the opportunity to thrive. Our Democracy, Opportunity, Citizenship Moonshot is a commitment to maximizing human potential, fostering engaged communities, and creating a society where all can flourish. We envision a future where health is not merely the absence of disease, but a vibrant tapestry of well-being woven into the fabric of empowered individuals and communities.

​

Our Three Pillars

​

• Democracy: We empower citizens to become active participants in shaping their shared future. This includes providing tools and insights that promote meaningful democratic engagement, encouraging informed dialogue, and amplifying the voices of everyday citizens.

• Opportunity: We focus on dismantling barriers to success, ensuring everyone has a fair chance to thrive. This involves creating pathways to personal and community prosperity, promoting equitable access to resources, and fostering an environment where all individuals can reach their full potential.

• Citizenship: We believe that active and engaged citizens are the foundation of a healthy democracy. We empower individuals to make substantial contributions to societal well-being, advocate for positive change, and participate in shaping a more just and equitable future for all.
