We facilitate change

By training and consulting changemakers.

A non-profit
social enterprise focused on change

The goal of the Domus Dorpatensis Foundation is to enable the development of science, culture and society – to help the world change.

We do it, because change is hard. Too much of it too fast will result in painful reactions of political disarray. Too little and too slow will leave a society behind and unable to adapt. We aim to help changemakers strike the right balance.

Based in Tartu, Estonia at one of the oldest buildings in the city we train university students in DD Academy to become changemakers of the future and grow the impact of changemaking organisations with DD StratLab.
