Phase 02 Application

Substance & Strategy.

Thank you for submitting your initial expression of interest. Welcome to Phase 02.

As a reminder, ORIGOKA is a 12-day immersive retreat in Koppang, Norway, followed by a 6-month digital fellowship. We are curating a syndicate of 12 impact leaders, researchers, activists, journalists, and social entrepreneurs to master their narrative and rewrite the future.

This application is where you explain your mission, your current challenges, and what you intend to build with us. Take your time.

The Mission

Briefly introduce yourself, your background, and your current daily operational role.

What is the deeper conviction driving your work, and what long-term systemic impact do you intend to leave behind?

Provide context on your career goals and the specific systemic issue or project you are currently tackling.

Where is the block? Is your work too academic? Too complex? Ignored by mainstream media? Or perhaps you haven't found the right format yet?

Proof of Substance

The criterion is not prestige.
The criterion is substance.

ORIGOKA does not only select people with polished institutional profiles. A grassroots activist with no website but ten years of community work holds as much weight as an academic with peer-reviewed publications.

Please share proof of your existing engagement. This could be articles, research papers, videos, podcasts, NGO documentation, photos of a local initiative, personal testimony, or a project idea in early development.

Tell us what we are looking at. If you have no links to provide, use this space to document your organizing experience or local initiatives.

The Syndicate & Logistics

We select individuals, but we curate a room. What specific knowledge, perspective, or energy will you bring to the other 11 participants?

ORIGOKA is committed to radical inclusion. Tell us exactly what you need to be fully present. We are ready to adapt the environment for you.

Examples: On-site babysitter for parents, wheelchair/mobility accommodations, sign language interpreters, dietary needs, somatic support, or financial constraints.
