Gunnar Holmsteinn talks
The One Young World Summit

I just arrived from the One Young World Summit where young people from all over the world came together to discuss the worlds problems in search of better ways. I’m truly thankful for the chance to attend this conference, about 1000 delegates where chosen from over 15.000 who applied.

Gunnar Holmsteinn, delegate from Iceland.

I talked about the following points:

  • In Iceland we hve this small economic thing
  • Leave us alone and well take our icy weather back
  • I would rather want to focus on the brighter side of a complete economic meltdown
  • A few weeks after the economic downturn we founded the Ministry of Ideas
  • Gathering great ideas and finding the right channels for execution and implementation
  • The National Assembly with .5% of icelanders in a single room, what matters?
  • Iceland as a country for prototypng a sustainable society
  • Baracks Obama interest on our One Pager!
  • How can we start Ministries of Ideas all over our ONE world?

Overall a great experience!
