How do we create the best possible conditions for the next generation to establish themselves in the cultural sector? This question has driven Torben’s work for nearly a decade. Every day, he works to strengthen the framework for emerging cultural actors and to carry our project, Kulturens Selvstændige, forward into something new in 2026.

With his educational background in sociology, Torben combines analytical sharpness with a keen understanding of where cultural experiences intersect with strategy, policy, and societal development. His work balances the practical and the strategic, ensuring that the cultural growth layer not only survives but thrives and play a vital role in shaping the future.
