There is no 'them' and 'us' - there is only 'us'

The goal is a society based on universal design

It is the Bevica Foundation's strategic objective is to have universal design as the cornerstone in the basic societal structure by 2050. In pursuit of that goal, we work strategically in two focused tracks:
‍

1. Creating attractive research and educational environments that promotes knowledge of universal design, so that future graduates have universal design as a basic premise in their professional understanding and as a foundation in their future careers.
   ‍
2. That the Leave No One Behind agenda and the understanding of universal design are embedded as core values in decision makers and in society in general, and thus included in the political agenda and executed in concrete partnerships. This work also requires ongoing public conversation, which the Bevica Foundation proactively pursues.

The strategy unfolds in three basic pillars: knowledge of universal design, partnerships and public conversation.

Specifically, we work with knowledge about universal design through the Universal Design Hub, which, among other things, operates a multidisciplinary research network. In 2022, we also launched the Bevica Scholarship Programme with the aim of strengthening the focus on and knowledge of universal design at the Denmark's educational institutions and among students, researchers and educators.

The knowledge that the Foundation collects and generates in this way not only forms an important basis for the Foundation's partnerships in both education and practice, it is also crucial in the conversations about blind spots, societal organisation and norms that we actively bring into play.
