The Future Vessel is created at an ordinary Municipal Council Meeting in Strängnäs

A unique Future Vessel was created at a Municipal Council Meeting in Strängnäs, Sweden. Children in many schools prepared the Future Vessel by uniting visions and actions for a better future. The classes took contact with the politicians. – Come and create the Future Vessel together with us children! Bring something you can give to the Future Vessel. It shall be something that is important for you! The children and the politicians created the future together and the dialogue between children and politicians touched all. Many adults came from the Future Vessel with tears in their eyes.
