A message from Elsabe

“I once dreamt of travelling space. This dream took met to the most spectacular galaxies, magnificent formations, never did I imagine that this would not even weigh up to a small part of the experience I had the past weeks.
Guildford was like the movie: Around the world in 80 days. The first morning I entered the Dining Hall and saw all the new faces I realised: Here, now, this is the rest of the world!

I will never be able to comprehend just how much I learned. John and Linda were great, but the 57 Changemakers were the best. There is something infinite about learning from your peers, something beautiful and resourceful.

At the end of the week, being one of the Davos-6 was almost sad, knowing I would probably not see the same fruits from world leaders.

In Davos an overwhelming feeling flushed as I realised that this was a unique global setup.”
