Passersby all over the world have been sharing their deepest thoughts as part of The World We Want project. Maybe you have seen the life-size chalkboards in your own city - drawing people in to write their answers to two very simple, yet thought-provoking fill-in-the-blanks: 'I want to live in a world where...' followed by 'To create this world, I will...'
Installed in public spaces from Brooklyn to Tel Aviv, the initiative began as a way to encourage meaningful dialogue in unexpected places and break the ice on topics that people may not otherwise address (inwardly or outwardly) in the hustle and bustle of the daily grind. Anyone can get involved with the movement by becoming a local 'Maker' in their own community and building a pop up wall with a team of organizers and designers.
Hopefully getting those thoughts out there will put the wheels in motion for participants and readers alike to, in some small way, make a conscientious effort to live by their words.
