Power for Change Institute
We educate, collaborate and co-create to empower individuals and communities for positive change in the society.
“Our present and future require us to be courageous and compassionate enough to take responsibility; responsibility for ones life and continuous improvement, and the responsibility to co- create an advanced and supportive society together with others.”
– Tanja Bogataj, Founder and CEO of the Power for Change Institute
Power for Change
We probably all agree that change is the only constant in life. And yet, many times when we are faced with change, we might feel stuck and powerless, or at least not as strong as we would like to feel.
We often procrastinate with making necessary changes because we for some reason doubt that we will be successful with them. We may even wait for some external circumstances to change first, or hope that someone else from the outside will make the change for us.
At the Power for Change institute, we wish for each of us to find an inspiration for change, both for ourselves and in society, and to take a more active role together in co-creating the positive changes we want or need to make for sustainable progress and development.
Our Inspiration to be catalysts and ambassadors for a positive change in society:
Empower Yourself to Make a Change
“Our present and future require us to be courageous and compassionate enough to take responsibility; responsibility for one's life and continuous improvement, and the responsibility to co-create an advanced and supportive society together with others.”
We Work Together to Make a Positive Difference
“Change is the only constant in life, yet many times when we are faced with change, we feel trapped, powerless, or at least not as strong as we would like to be. By working together, we create out of change not a struggle but an opportunity for learning, growth and development, for ourselves and others.”
We inspire and Take Action for a Change
“We often delay change because we doubt whether we will be successful. We may even be waiting and hoping that someone else will make the change, not us. The sooner we accept that the change we want starts with us and within us, the more time and resources we have available to make it happen.”
We keep Learning, Practicing, and Co-Creating for a Change
“The challenges people and communities are facing are often similar. Our uniqueness and advantage lies in our ability to learn and continuously improve, and in ways we face challenges. When we know better, we can choose and do better.”
We are looking forward to celebrating your changes and achievements, and co-creating the positive changes together with you.
– Tanja Bogataj, Founder and CEO of the Power for Change Institute

Be the change
Each of us can contribute to positive changes in society with our knowledge, experience and unique view of the world. However, for the changes that we desire to see in society, it is more effective if we connect and collaborate to co-create them with like-minded and like-hearted people.
Entrust us with your idea, proposal or project so that we can find out together how we can provide an adequate support for its successful implementation through cooperation and co-creation.
