IDG Resources

Welcome to our curated collection of internal resources designed to support your journey of inner development. Feel free to explore and download any resources that resonate with your needs.

We only ask that Inner Development Goals be mentioned as the source of the framework and that the content and design of the framework remains unaltered.

IDG Framework Translations: Co‑Created by Our Global Community

At Inner Development Goals, we deeply believe that inner development is universal, and that it must speak in every language to reach its full potential. Thanks to the dedication of our IDG Hubs, networks, academic partners, and research circles, the framework has been carefully translated into multiple languages so it can be accessed, practised, and shared around the world.

Why It Matters
Translating the IDG Framework helps people everywhere explore and embody the 23 skills across 5 dimensions: Being, Thinking, Relating, Collaborating, and Acting, in culturally meaningful ways. Whether in classrooms, boardrooms, or grassroots initiatives, these translations ensure inner leadership becomes relevant in every context.

Can’t find your language?
If you don’t see your local language listed here yet, we’d love your help. Join our global co-creation effort by translating the framework in collaboration with your local community. Whether you’re a translator, mentor, or local IDG community member, your contribution helps make these tools more inclusive and accessible.
