USE YOUR EXPERTISE TO CO-CREATE TRANSFORMATIVE CHANGE!
We are open for expressions of interest from ambitious Dutch and Indonesian professionals, aged 29 to 39. Your skills and experience have seen you reach new heights in your career. By joining the Innovation Lab, you you’ll see another side of your professional and personal self. If you are interested in social issues, and want to do more than donate to charity but don’t know where to start, you’re not alone. With the Innovation Lab, you can use your professional skills to contribute in further developing the impact of an ambitious nonprofit organization, and gain skills from other capable participants. Through innovative co-creation, sharing skills, resources, and expertise can help both parties to flourish –your business skills can go further than you think.
The Innovation Lab will take place in Jakarta and Cirebon, Indonesia from April 26th until May 5th. As all expenses during our Innovation Lab are covered by the Frans Seda Foundation, we expect our Fellows to commit a certain amount of time to working with us. In general, this means all preparation meetings during the period leading up to the Innovation Lab and for the length of the Innovation Lab, though the more time a Frans Seda Fellow can put in, the more it’ll get out of our program.
Who we are
The Frans Seda Foundation was founded in 2012, and was named after the highly revered Indonesian statesman Frans Seda (1926–2009). The Foundation is inspired by his lifelong commitment to balanced, non-discriminatory and respectful national and international relationships. Throughout his life, Frans Seda strived to build bridges between islands, religions and nations, believing the importance of an equitable development.
Through focused projects like scholarships, studies and seminars the Foundation aspires to create opportunities for talented young leaders from Indonesia and The Netherlands to understand the challenges resulting from differences in social, religious and economic backgrounds. Aligned with the current global development framework; the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Foundation also hopes to foster peaceful and just societies, address the root causes of inequality, and meet the universal need for development to attain global common good
The Innovation Lab, offers nonprofit organizations access to the strategic support they need to widen their impact and become more efficient, effective and sustainable. We do this by harnessing and matching the talents of young Dutch and Indonesian leaders – we call them Frans Seda Fellows – to collaborate and co-create solutions in a one-week, intensive workshop in Indonesia.
