Important results from the project
The project resulted in a first World of Wisdom event 11-16 August 2020. Due to the risk situation regarding COVID-19, only 40 people could physically gather on Gotland, and therefore the event was also conducted globally online on a self-developed platform. The event attracted 587 online participants from 44 countries. A total of 24 camps were established, which together organized more than 100 sessions/workshops. 96% of the participants stated that, as a result of the event, they felt significantly more committed to actively contributing to a better and more sustainable future.
