“To do another Tällberg Forum of this format is an intellectual and logistic “tour de force”.
Congratulations! Thanks for all new perspectives and extraordinary hospitality.”
Jan Eliasson, UN Special Envoy to Sudan
“Last night, students visited Tällberg had a dinner gathering in Beijing. I had a chance to talk to them. Everyone of them considered the Tällberg experience will be in their life time memory. Sometime, just one or two things in life may make the total difference on the future path. Tällberg certainly will be remembered by a few of the billion Chinese. Thank you.”
C.S. Kiang, Chairman, Peking University Environment Fund
“It was, once again, a wonderful experience. Many, many thanks!!!”
Manfred Max-Neef, Economist and Rectorof the Universidad Austral de Chile
“You are doing something at Tällberg that is very important and it is a privilege to have been a part of the 2007 meeting. ”
Ray C. Anderson, Founder and Chairman, Interface
“The level and the diversity of the participants and discussed issues impressed me very much and gave me a lot of inspiration.”
Elena Ershova, PR Manager, The Vladimir Potanin Foundation
“I like the underlying tone of idealism. In that sense, Tällberg is a post-modern forum”.
Robert Cooper, Director General, Council of the EU
“I owe a heartfelt thank you, not just from me, but from the large and growing community that you joined together.”
Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education
“Openness to life grants a lightning swift insight into the life situation of others. What is necessary? to wrestle with your problem until its emotional discomfort is clearly conceived in an intellectual form and then act accordingly.” (quote from Dag Hammarskjöld) I think this is precisely what one should do when one comes home from Tällberg. This year’s Forum was probably the best I have attended when it comes to the substance, and now I am thinking about how I will follow up in my own activities”.
Hans Corell, former Under-Secretary-General and Legal Counsel, United Nation
“People come here because they want to make a change. They get inspiration and support, find common causes and start up projects together. Tällberg is like a waterhole in the desert where you take a pause, breathe – you leave rested, full of energy and new ideas, thinking there is actually hope for a better future.”
From Margot Wallström’s Blog (Vice President of the European Commission)
“I tremendously enjoyed participating in the Tällberg Forum and I would feel very honored by being invited again in the future.”
Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Director, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research
“Like all the other Chinese students, I had many moments of intellectual christening during the five days in Tällberg, be it by the cutting-edge science presented in the sections, the status quo of globalization, the cultural difference between the east and west, north and south, or just the human conscience shared by all the participants . And now as I look back, I’d like to show my highest respect to your seamless and innovative organization of everything that we took for granted back at the Forum.
Jie Zhang, Student, Economics and International Studies, Yale University
I think the essence of Tällberg to me is being challenged by other people in my basic assumptions and at the same time having the opportunity to challenge others in their assumptions. Combined with the essential openness that you manage to evoke in the participants and the space for reflection that you provide, I think Tällberg in itself is a change-making machine.”
Ole von Uexküll, Executive Director, Right Livelihood Award Foundation
