Appreciation for the effort at Rework the World
Jim Wine, advisor to the Tallberg Foundation & Rework the World event in Leksand, Sweden 2-5 June 2010, shares his thoughts with our representers Amy Ilic & Phoebe Phillips in a surprising turn of the camera!
THE GREAT GENERATION
“Sometimes it falls upon a generation to be great.
You can be that great generation.
Let your greatness blossom.”
Nelson Mandela

Young Intentions
The day before Rework, the 30 of us collected in a beautiful nature-focused community in Ingäro, part of the Stockholm Archipelago, to prepare for a week of meaningful interaction.
