Collaboration and Funding

Working with like-minded foundations and institutions

Flux Foundation seeks collaboration with philanthropic organisations, private and public institutions and partners, who share our belief in dialogue as a vital activity and tool for a more peaceful and sustainable future.

We are particularly interested in:

  • co-funding arrangements

  • joint pilot initiatives

  • long-term strategic partnerships


Partners and Supported Work

Partnerships built on trust and practice

The examples below illustrate key aspects of our strategic focus:

Nobel Peace Center

Flux has supported a number of dialogue-based initiatives with the Nobel Peace Center over several years. Recently, the Nobel Peace Center is developing Uenige Sammen (Disagreeing Together), a programme that equips young people with practical tools to engage constructively with disagreement in politically charged contexts.

The Climate House (Klimahuset), Natural History Museum, University of Oslo

With support from Flux Foundation, Klimahuset has developed a dialogue-based programme for youth addressing climate change as both a scientific and societal challenge. The approach creates structured spaces for shared inquiry, helping young people, along with their teachers, explore complexity uncertainty, and differing perspectives together.

This work has received international recognition and reflects Flux’s belief that dialogue is essential when engaging youth with long-term, contested, and future-oriented issues.

Academy of Professional Dialogue (AofPD)

AofPD is developing the Dialogic Classroom, an educational framework in which dialogue is embedded in everyday teaching and learning. Rather than being taught as a separate subject, dialogue becomes the way students think together, inquire collectively, and engage respectfully with difference.

The teachers’ coaches are accredited practitioners trained through the Academy’s programme A Different Way of Working, ensuring that dialogue is introduced in a structured and professionally grounded manner.

Flux’s support reflects a shared commitment to dialogue as a foundational competence — developed early, sustained over time, and strengthened through professional training and practice.

Flux Forlag/Dialog

Flux Forlag/Dialog has been closely connected to Flux Foundation since its inception and represents a long-standing commitment to dialogue as both a deep cultural tradition and a practical discipline. Through publications, courses, and facilitator training, Flux Forlag has contributed to the development of dialogic practice across education, leadership, and civil society.

In 2025, Flux Dialog entered a collaboration with United World Colleges (UWC) to explore how dialogue can be more deeply integrated into everyday life and learning within a highly diverse international student community.

Inspired by AofPD’s work in England, Flux Dialog gathered valuable experience over several years from practising dialogue in prisons and institutions for drug addicts.

An invitation to dialogue

The challenges societies face today are complex, fragmented and unpredictable. Addressing them requires more than regulation or technical solutions – it requires the capacity to listen, share different perspectives, reflect, and act together. Flux Foundation works to strengthen that capacity.
