carrying the fire by sharing stories: different and so very much the same.

LISTEN
SHARE

The hope anthology is an attempt to shift the horizon by sharing stories cross borders. This is a third space where personal and political interest becomes secondary for the social one. Exploring what makes us carry on when life becomes difficult we intend to bring to the surface how fundamentally similar we are, despite our different experiences and circumstances. This is an anthology of people and their hopes. We would love to share it with you, and we would love for you to join it.

EXCHANGE PROJECTS

“Cómo se relaciona el arte con las demás áreas”

We met María in Iquitos, Peru. As she works on her thesis to become an arts teacher, she radiates inspiration and embraces it from the world around her. Despite the challenges she has faced, her desire to give back remains strong – whether by fighting illiteracy in her community, teaching children in the hospital, or, most importantly, sharing her hope with others.

INTERCULTURAL EXCHANGE

By now you should know that we consider exchange of humanity very important. If that’s to be with the random guy at the closest bus stop or a bus stop on the other side of the globe is of less importance. However, here follows a list of people open for virtual or physical exchange that we’ve met through our quarter a decade of obsessive socialisation.

some people we’ve met and why they inspire

Karabi

Iquitos, Peru

Karabi. Hjärta av guld. Utefter sina erfarenheter dra lärdomar vart hon själv vill och inte vill vara. Förebild för dem hon träffar. Kreativ att hitta lösningar och starta ett nytt jobb på distans under pandemin. Lägger en stor del av sin tid på ideellt arbete som ger henne mening.

    Bertha

    Iquitos, Casa Ainbo

    Bertha och sin man alltid har ett öppet hus för volontärer från hela världen. Älskar att lära sig igenom dem. Sin motivation och driv att hjälpa andra. Kreativa att hitta vart dem kan hjälpa. Under pandemin gav 250 människor mat i amistad området.

      Sauro

      Arequipa, Peru

      Creator of MI KCAO CHOCOLATES Y CAFÉ (and really have the best chocolate).
      – Reflekterande. Hans definition av andlighet. Byte av karriär i linje med det, hans värderingar. Skillnaden att vakna upp och tvingas gå till jobb eller gå av sann motivation i linje med vad man vill. Byte från mekaniker till detta.
