Alpbach in Motion

Each year, the most committed young business leaders, changemakers, policymakers, scientists, artists, activists, and more, commit to a one-of-a-kind leadership experience. By stimulating peer-to-peer learning and out-of-the-box solutions, Alpbach in Motion creates a space for the emergence of reflection and action. In line with the European Forum Alpbach mission to shape a stronger Europe for the good of all, Alpbach in Motion takes place from 24 to 27 August 2023 and encourages its professionals to facilitate change in their industries, ecosystems and the broader social context.

Alpbach is an inspirational place that opens minds and souls for Europe's future. A forum that generates ideas and sparks action. Do you dare to ask the big questions? Are you willing to rethink your role as a leader? Are you ready to leave some of your beliefs behind and embrace fresh ones? Do you want to immerse yourself into a community of like-minded peers? Then Alpbach in Motion – the EFA Leadership Lab is for you.

• At EFA, we are committed to building a diverse, integenerational, and interdisciplinary community to drive ideas for a strong and democratic Europe. When scouting for our programmes, we look to achieve diversity in the candidate pool and actively encourage applications from underrepresented groups. If you identify as belonging to one of these groups, you may indicate this in your motivational statement. We will take it into consideration in our jury assessment.

Alpbach in Motion (24 August and 27 August 2023) is a Lab led by an experienced leadership mentor who guides through varied and unexpected hours. The name reflects the programme, meaning that the group is in motion most of the time, on slow-paced hikes or at sessions that activate the mind and body. One AIM alumnus describes it as “The settings were shifting between joint discussions, smaller group works, and solitary contemplation. Hiking was used as a very suitable format for transmuting internal reflection to external dialogue and vice versa. All these process steps gave us the opportunity not only to connect the dots, but also to get to know ourselves and each other better – and how to use this for shaping our personal impact.” Read more in the blog post here
