The Inner Development Goals (IDG) Ambassador Program is in-person or digital training designed to empower changemakers to effectively advocate for inner development.
This programme is the first of its kind to equip changemakers with the knowledge, skills and networks needed to drive positive change within their organisations, communities and beyond.
The primary purpose of this programme is to equip changemakers with compelling stories, knowledge, and skills needed to effectively advocate for and apply the Inner Development Goals across various contexts and to diverse stakeholders.
After three years of working with Inner Development and the IDGs, we have identified a clear need for an Ambassadors Program. This program will draw on the rich insights and experiences from hubs and networks around the world, creating a flexible structure that can be adapted and applied in various formats and contexts.
You will become part of a collaborative learning community dedicated to applying the IDG Framework in various contexts and tailoring approaches to different stakeholders.
This is an open process beginning with a pre-meeting where all community members are invited to align and prepare for the journey ahead.
The IDG Framework is a roadmap to inner change for outer change. Based on interdisciplinary research, it includes 5 dimensions and 23 skills for personal growth. Learn how Being, Thinking, Relating, Collaborating, and Acting can work together to spark global change.
