  • Wake-Up Call at Tällberg Forum in Sigtuna

    Tällberg Forum

    How many brilliant minds can fit inside a tent?

    Well, the Tällberg Forum pushes for the world record. Since thursday the three of us, Anna, Erik and David of Wake-Up Call in Gothenburg have mingled around UNEP directors, Volvo CEOs, university presidents and many more bigwigs – but also a lot of people simply committed to changing the world with the means available to them. Notably youth from Yemen and Syria is here to report and discuss the continuing struggles in the arab spring uprisings. There is a sense that world history is present. Last year youth from Egypt were here on leadership training – the implications of that is chilling. Who knows what history making we were just part of?

    As we sit here now writing this in the dormitory, the former Swedish ambassador in China, Börje Ljunggren, is watching the tennis game unfolding while explaing how China is changing (Djokovic is winning). All these great people are friendly, accessible and share the vision that a more empathetic future is needed.

  • Going to Rework the World!

    Rework the WorldWe are really psyched up about the global gathering ‘Rework the World’ that starts on the 2nd of June in Leksand, Sweden. This year it is a combination of Tällberg Forum and the Youth Employment Summit (YES). Therefore the main topic of the conversations in Leksand will be: How do we create between 500 million and 1 billion new sustainable jobs for young people around the world in the next couple of decades? The summit’s five main themes: Energy, Water, Land, Cities and People and hundreds of sessions and workshops, not even mentioning informal talks and project meetings, keep us buzzing with enthusiasm and excitement! Starting tomorrow, we are going to Rework the World! Literally.
