Løvetannakademiet works on the basis of a positive and holistic view of human beings. This means that we see all people as equals who are entitled to a dignified life. The capacity for change and positive growth exists in all people. We value respect for the individual and trust between Løvetannakademiet and young people.
We believe that skills acquired through lived experience are just as valuable as professional knowledge. Therefore, experiential skills are an important part of our work. At Løvetannakademiet, young people should meet people they can relate to, who can give them hope and inspire them to believe in the future.
Lived experience is not only something we value highly, but a key element in the development of our services and in the support of our young people. Young people are considered an equal party in discussions and decisions that affect them. We know that being seen and heard can have a positive impact on both self-image and motivation for change. Young people should be active participants in the change process and be treated with respect and care. Demands and expectations are made of them, and they are given opportunities and room for mastery.
