We empower young people and adults with
the skills needed for tomorrow.

Starting with a single map.

What began as a modest initiative with just a few passionate individuals has grown into a thriving community. As more people learned of our efforts, the FURIM Institute evolved into a beacon for volunteers, researchers, project managers, and educators, all united in their desire to contribute to a sustainable and inclusive future.

We are dedicated to developing skills that are crucial for today's rapidly changing world: digital proficiency, ecological awareness, life skills, and capabilities for future challenges.

Expanding Our Reach

Knowledge is the key to providing each individual with the opportunity to create a successful life and to meet the challenges our society faces. We can establish more inclusive and competitive society by investing in knowledge focused on well-being and innovative solutions to social challenges.

High quality in education and research is therefore important for a well-functioning career path and for a continuous steady growth of the Norwegian welfare society. In the future, change will not be a one-time exercise, but a normal state. Learning how to acquire constantly new knowledge and skills through a lifetime becomes vital.
