Our Moonshot: Democracy of Opportunity 

At the Institute for Salutogenesis, we are fueled by an audacious vision: the Democracy of Opportunity. This isn't just a goal; it's a commitment to creating a world where every individual, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive. Our moonshot is about maximizing human potential, fostering engaged communities, and creating a society where every citizen can flourish.

​

What is the Democracy of Opportunity?

The Democracy of Opportunity is the principle that all individuals, irrespective of their background or circumstances, deserve access to resources, opportunities, and societal support to thrive and achieve their full potential. It's about leveling the playing field and ensuring that everyone has the chance to lead a fulfilling life.

​

Our Approach:

Central to our initiative is the focus on the First 1000 Days of life, recognizing that this period is foundational for shaping lifelong well-being. By harnessing insights from various factors that influence individuals – biological, cultural, social, environmental, spiritual, and political – we aim to optimize citizens' core capabilities and maximize their potential during this critical period.

​

Why It Matters:

The early stages of life are crucial for laying the groundwork for empowered citizens and a flourishing society. By addressing systemic inequalities and breaking down social barriers, we aim to create an environment where every citizen can thrive and actively contribute to shaping a vibrant and inclusive democracy.

​
