Includi

With social disparities on the rise as people drift apart, includi is on a mission to revitalize our societies. By bringing social inclusion back to the public domain, we fuel inclusivity.

includi helped us define our vision. The result is the “next level” library of Goes that connects and enriches thanks to design craftsmanship.

We welcome talent

We’re experts in highly effective social experiences. Creating places where people feel welcome. We believe in Third Places, as coined by the American sociologist Ray Oldenburg. They are cornerstones in creating better societies and to prevent decline of civic life. We’re privileged to work on lovely projects. Currently prepping for even more – in Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Bonaire, the Middle East, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands. And our lovely and growing team is welcoming new team members!

Do you feel the need for a more inclusive society? Want to join a warm, young and motivated team? Do you like to bring ideas, knowledge and your personality? You’re more than welcome! Even if we don’t have the exact job opening you’re looking for, you can always reach out. You don’t think of the things you don’t know. And in this case the only issue could be that we don’t know you… yet!
