VISION

A world where natural differences are recognized, embraced, and celebrated by everyone.

"Every child has the right to discover the naturalness of differences in nature and our society."

- Floris Dorgelo, founder Natural Hero Foundation

We believe that children are not born with a fear of differences. Children learn from what they see, hear, feel, and experience. By showing children early on how natural diversity truly is – whether in nature, in families, or in society – we are building a generation that looks at themselves and others with more openness, empathy, and trust.

Research shows that inclusive education has a positive impact on children's well-being. It reduces isolation among minority groups and increases empathy among peers. Inclusive environments promote better social and emotional development in children and contribute to a supportive and empathetic school climate.

OUR AMBITIONS

By 2030, we aim to inspire fifty million children worldwide to be themselves and embrace each other's differences.

We do this by, among other things, developing school programs, publishing children's books, and organizing events. All to stimulate conversations about natural diversity and promote mutual acceptance.

Our ambition for 2050
A society where diversity is so self-evident that no child ever has to come out to be able and allowed to be themselves.

Our path to impact
By publishing and distributing our children's books, developing and implementing educational programs, and entering into strategic partnerships with various organizations, we are getting closer to our goal. In the short term, this means more understanding and awareness of different ways of life. In the longer term, we strive for a cultural shift towards embracing inclusivity, an improvement in mental health among LGBTQ+ youth, and a generation of children who embrace diversity.
