General Info

The KaosPilots was founded in 1991 in Århus, Denmark. It grew out of a youth organization called the Front Runners, a truly novel initiative, who worked with cultural and social projects.

The KaosPilots is a self-governing institution comprised of two parts: the school and a consultancy. The purpose of the KaosPilots is “positive social change through personal growth”.

The consultancy offers the same capabilities that are offered to the students to companies, NGO’s and public organizations, but adapted to suit their specific need. For examples of clients please click here.

The program is a three-year long education where the focus lies upon learning by doing through client assignments, from entrepreneurs, consultants, leaders and thought leaders.

The program consists of the disciplines Creative Enterprising Design, Creative Project Design, Creative Process Design and Creative Leadership Design and the education is designed around and operates according to the values Streetwise, Risk-taking, Balance, Compassion, Real World and Playful.


Our Purpose & Mission

Purpose
The purpose of the KaosPilot School is to create positive societal change through personal growth and enterprise
Mission
We strive to qualify the student vocationally as well as personally to thrive interdependently by developing their knowledge, skills and attitudes as pro-active learners, value-based leaders and sustainable entrepreneurs, for the benefit of themselves and society as a whole.

Everything starts with the individual and the individual passion and drive and then spreads with the knowledge of our interdependency. Students at the KaosPilots must explore what they consider to be positive societal change, and then adjust their actions to aid this development, while allowing and helping others to do the same.

It is our mission to create the frames for this process of learning and change to take place - to be a school, that focuses on helping the individual realize his potential, and use this to make a difference in the world.


Vision
It is the vision of the KaosPilots to be the best school for the world.

It is an ambitious vision, and can be interpreted in many ways, but first and foremost it means always considering what the world needs and has potential for at any given time, and balancing this with the needs and potential of the individual.

We envision a school that empowers its students to consider what kind of society they want to be part of, teaches them how to utilize their abilities to help create the change they wish to see, and gives them the skills to act on their dreams.

In time the ambition is for the organization to grow, making our value proposition and program accessible more people. We wish to create a global network of schools, a community of practitioners, fostering a new generation of change makers, value-based entrepreneurs and creative leaders.

KaosPilots wants to nurture and realize potentials and ideas about growth, meaning and sustainability for the benefit of people, communities, organizations and societies.
