“Most people want to do something, but many feel powerless. They see these gigantic problems and feel powerless to do anything about them. But they aren’t. That’s why it’s so important to provide opportunities for action. Every little helps.”

Céline Cousteau Explorer and environmental campaigner

“When it comes to the progress of humanity, the optimists have the facts on their side. They are the hard - headed realists, whereas the pessimists actually live in a state of delusion.”

Steven Pinker Professor at Harvard University, cognitive psychologist, author

EDUCATION

The 2030 NOW poster exhibition for every school in Denmark.

French photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand has kindly donated the use of 17 chapter photos from the book 2030 NOW.

The project is a series of posters, each representing one of the 17 SDG’s, all together forming an exhibition which will be shipped to 2.000 Danish schools in 2019.

The educational institutions will receive the material all free of charge.

In cooperation with the coming Folkemødet on Bornholm, the school project will be pre-launched, as an eye catching outdoor exhibition. Also the outdoor exhibition will be on show throughout Summer and Autumn in the city of Allinge on Bornholm, to communicate the UN Sustainable Development Goals to a wider audience.
