Hello Ambitious and Creative Changemaker!

Are you interested in making a real impact? Do you want to join a group of like-minded talented changemakers? The newly established Ambitious Denmark (DABA) team is looking for a kind and engaging event and speaker coordinator.


We are looking for warm-hearted, genuine, and motivated team members to help lift Ambitious.Africa in Denmark. Are you ready to accept the challenge and contribute to a strong community of engaged young people ready to change the world for the better.  

You will shape a better future together with other talented team members in Denmark, the Nordics and the African continent.

You will work with several other colleagues in the event team.

What are your responsibilities:

You will be in charge of making sure everything is in place to succeed and provide high-quality events. You will help to look for relevant speakers and partners to strengthen the Nordic - African collaboration and make sure participants use the event’s networking platform to their benefit. Most of your tasks will revolve around:

  • Creating content for panel discussions

What we offer:

  • Be a part of Nordic.Africa-day Summit and other events organised by DABA.

  • Step into the centre of the largest Creative Changemakers network in the Nordics.

  • Work with other enthusiastic international young professionals.

The initiative from Ambitious Africa and DABA aspires to bridge the gap between the Nordics and Africa by connecting, inspiring, and empowering young people to help them make a change together. Ambitious DABA’s vision is based on three pillars of a) Education, b) Entrepreneurship, and c) Entertainment. These are the values that guide us towards our goals.

We are young people from two continents who learn together and work together - towards a better sustainable future.

We connect, inspire, and empower young people in all African and Nordic countries to work together, lead the change, and create transformation. Our values are based on the shared Nordic values that actually are not that Nordic, but global values translated into one functioning model that allows teamwork, trust, and equality for global welfare and sustainable development. Ambitious.Africa Denmark is a chapter of Ambitious Africa that aims to develop strong Danish-African relationships and unite Danish and African youth willing to create a positive impact in both regions. Ambitious.Africa Denmark has joined forces with the Danish African Business Association to engage players from the business sector, find potential synergies and accelerate the collaboration between the young and the established.
