For more than 15 years, we have helped entrepreneurs and professionals develop their leadership, grow their organisations, and increase their social impact. Our programmes connect practical experience and leadership development with academic insights. In addition to knowledge and skills, we create space for personal reflection: reflecting on what is really happening, sharing experiences, and looking at yourself and your leadership from new perspectives.

What you can expect
You bring challenges from your own organisation and explore them through new knowledge, different perspectives, and your own experience.
In intervision, coaching, and personal exchange, you go beyond the content: there is space to share, spar with others, and explore what new insights mean for you and your leadership, in an environment where trust is central.
We Shape The Future Community
The We Shape the Future Community remains a place to learn, spar, and go deeper even after your programme ends. Through intervisions, deepening days, leadership weekends, masterclasses, and events, you stay connected to one another.

Why
We Shape the Future
Social ambitions require more than good ideas. They also require strong entrepreneurship, a healthy organisation, and leaders willing to keep examining their own choices and assumptions.
That is why entrepreneurs and professionals at WSTF learn not only from academics, experts, and coaches, but also from each other.
That is what We Shape the Future stands for: the courage to lead, the ambition to keep learning, and the strength to shape the future together.
15+ years of experience
Since 2010, we have developed programmes for social entrepreneurs and professionals working on social change.
Practice-based learning
Challenges from your own practice, individual ambitions, and the development of both yourself and your organisation are at the heart of our programmes.
Leadership & community
Strengthen your leadership, learn with and from others, and build a powerful network. Even after the programme, you remain connected through the community.
Academic foundation
Current academic insights, developed and applied in collaboration with Utrecht University and the Chair of Social Entrepreneurship.
