I am preparing myself for my participation in one of the biggest and most important conferences next week: The 5th Global YES Summit – Rework the World gathering more than 1500 people from all over the world in Dalarna, Sweden on June 2-6.

Rework the World is organized by the Tällberg Foundation, known worldwide for their large annual workshops gathering world leaders addressing the over-arching question “How on earth can we live together?”

“Rework the World is responding to the  confluence of three major global crises: the financial, the social and the ecological. These crises are related, both in their consequences and their causes. We are in the midst of an inevitable transition. Energy systems must be reconstructed, water sources restored, ecosystems regenerated and cities rebuilt. There is an awful lot of work to be done.
Indeed, the whole world must be reworked.”

I am happy and proud to be part of this by attending the  event and being a moderator for one of the workshops; “Rework mechanisms: Communities to promote sustainable change”

I have also taken part in the program Adopt a Changemaker, sponsoring a participant of Rework. Here is my “adopted” changemaker that I have sponsored the trip to the event for:

Gbenga Adenuga is a multi-talented musician and entrepreneur, he is the CEO of headroom Africa, a youth empowerment outfit.

I am looking forward to seeing him and all the other people from all over the world, it will surely widen my perspectives and give me new insights.

I will report more about my adventures in Tällberg here next week.
