To go from words to action is crucial for anyone willing to lead sustainable development.
The Mindshifters exercises encourages the users to explore inner values, in order to communicate and act in line with them. Today we invite you to test your ability to do so!
The Aware app, Mindshifters materials, and tools below are free for you to use and forward to your organisation and networks. That’s the first step to going from words to action – crucial for anyone willing to lead sustainable development. Good luck! Mind the shift!
Activate the toolkit of materials and arrange an activity together with colleagues and friends. Explore and develop inner skills and values within your organisation. The toolkit can be downloaded below and consists of a workbook, instruction videos, posters, social media posts, and a guide.
This is the central part of the Mindshifters activity. Let all participants get a copy each. You can print the PDF (without cutting marks) as loose pages on a regular printer or send the PDF (with cutting marks) to a printshop.

Mindshifters is a project based on The Inner Development Goals, a scientifically based method for developing the skills needed to support a sustainable future. The project is initiated by The Swedish Institute - a public agency that promotes interest and confidence in Sweden around the world.
The Inner Development Goals are a not-for-profit and open-source initiative founded by the 29k Foundation, Ekskäret Foundation, and The New Division together with a group of researchers, experts and practitioners in leadership development and sustainability.
Here you can find more exercises. Invite friends and colleagues and create groups where you can reflect together and exchange thoughts.
