THE KURSGÅRDEN LINDSBERG FOUNDATION

Kursgården Lindsberg was founded in 1979 by Miljöförbundet (today Friends of the Earth). Three years later, Kursgården broke free and became a non-profit foundation, which still exists today. From the statutes:

​

The purpose of the foundation is to manage and develop the Kursgård (retreat and conference center) in a non-profit spirit and there operate and stimulate a broad, practical and theoretical course activity in harmony with the concepts of solidarity, self-confidence and resource conservation/sustainability, and make Kursgården Lindsberg available for other activities in this spirit.

​

The foundation consists of those living in the house, also called the collective, as well as representatives from Friends of the Earth. The collective and a number of former members also form the group that on a voluntary basis, runs and manages the house in the same spirit as at the start-up now over four decades ago.
