Origin
In 2024, the European Union asked Bureau Ensemble to consider setting up a foundation. In this way, the organisations ability to design widely supported programs and to successfully implement them would be eligible for various funds from the EU and possibly other organisations.
Foundation Bureau Ensemble (SBE) is the non-profit organisation of Bureau Ensemble. SBE aims to combine the qualities, experiences and skills of individuals, organisations and governments for societal issues. In all instances, the starting point is the direct interaction between all stakeholders, attention to everyone's contribution and targeted action to achieve ambitions. Harmony, equality and progress for all are paramount.
Perspective
Our goal is to explore and shape the way that knowledge, experience, concrete actions, and collaboration between individuals, organizations, and communities contribute to the representation and creation of future-proof coexistence. The importance of current and future generations, private and public organizations, large and small partnerships in a global context with an emphasis on local initiatives cannot be overstated. SBE is looking to strengthen those parties and areas of attention that are under pressure or easily overlooked. Here is where we have the chance to work together and recognize and allocate space for each other's contributions.
People and organisations who are passionate about using their knowledge and experience to contribute to a sustainable and fair future at home and abroad are partners with SBE.
Our Approach
We do what is possible and necessary. Dialogue and action are our starting point. Every time, their design depend on the parties involved. Our principles provide guidance for this process.
To shape ambitions and results, we expect everyone to contribute, to make joint decisions about ambitions and results, and to maintain a clear, high-quality, and simple approach.
Our process starts by taking into account the clarity of our ambitions, facilitating conversation, being open to creativity, making decisions supported by all parties, and investing in cooperation.
SBE works in the social domain with public and private partners, as well as with individuals involved.
Our contributions are not tied to the theme, but rather to people's relationships, energy, ambition, and results that are balanced with the living environment.
