Begin
The School for Moral Ambition emerged from a desire not only to talk about a better world but also to take action towards one.
The four founders are writer Rutger Bregman, designer Harald Dunnink, former banker Julia van Boven, former consultant Jan-Willem van Putten and entrepreneur Ruben Timmerman.
Our growing team now consists of fifteen people. In the past months we have worked hard at setting up the Moral Ambition Circles program, in order to ensure moral ambition is an ideal everyone can aspire to. At the same time, we launched our first Moral Ambition Fellowships in September of 2024.
