Duckling - Challenge your story

Organization

We are a different kind of organization, without traditional administration or hierarchies. We are an ecosystem of young talents in journalism, storytelling, design, and coding. They are organized in self-driven editorial groups.

Ducklings core group:

Bjarke Winding
Bjarke Calvin Winding
Roles: I was part of founding Duckling, and I develop new editorial projets and formats, find funding and mentor our team.

I believe the next step in human evolution is formed through stories. That belief has taken me on a wild journey—from being editor-in-chief at Magnum Photos in New York, via MIT in Boston, to becoming a media entrepreneur in Copenhagen.

Emma Vegge K. Andersen

Role: I help coordinate our group of volunteer storytellers, run workshops and create stories.

Connection between people is what I long for - and what I believe the world needs more of. That’s why I’m at Duckling. I believe we need more connection. And connection is created through shared stories.

Kamilla Isaksen
Kamilla Gamborg Isaksen
Role: I was part of founding Duckling, and I am the main facilitator for the editorial team

I have a huge passion for creating journalism for young people. I was the kind of person who made the school paper, and I’ve gained so much from journalism that I want to pass on. But we need to rethink both form and content.

Laura Riis
Laura Riis
Role: I drive the visual storytelling of Duckling with photos and video.

I focus on communities, compelled to navigate between tradition and the modern world. Through photography, I explore how faith, belonging, and youth are experienced in changing environments.

Marie Pastré
Marie Pastré
Role: I write and edit weekly and montly stories, and find new people for our storytelling groups.

I’m drawn to exploring the great challenges of our time through a deeply human vantage point. My work spans many subjects—from climate coverage to existential questions—always with the individual person at the heart of the story.

Role: I create and find great stories for Duckling

In 2025, I began studying journalism at DMJX, where I hope to combine my curiosity with a creative approach to storytelling — finding new ways to share the world through a slightly different lens.
