You Can Do Better Projects

We know you already have ideas. You care about your community, and you’re trying to do something that matters. Nordic Soup can help you take that next step: learning how to communicate your ideas in ways that bring others in — as supporters, collaborators, or volunteers. With the right tools and a network that believes in you, your ideas will get stronger, and so will you.

Connect with other doers

You won’t just work on your own idea — you’ll also help others shape theirs. You’ll practice asking the right questions, giving constructive feedback, and spotting what makes someone else’s idea strong. These moments are powerful. They build the same personal skills you’ll need when communicating your own project across communities, or leading volunteers successfully.

Make partnerships abroad

Nordic Soup runs at the same time in Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden — which means you’ll connect with other doers across borders. It’s a chance to swap ideas, share struggles, and maybe even find your first international collaborator. That kind of connection can open big doors later — for projects, funding, or just growing your network beyond your local bubble.

Learn by doing

You’ll test ideas, try out tools, reflect on what works, and build as you go. The methods we use are all connected to action — not just theory. You’ll leave with real experience, not just notes.

Design with volunteers in mind

A lot of people only start thinking about volunteers once their project is already built. In Nordic Soup you’ll learn to design your idea with volunteers in mind from the start — thinking about what makes people want to join, how to make it rewarding for them, and how to grow your project with others, not just for others.
