Quotes
"Ultimately, that's what the Possibility Project is. It's just a demonstration that there are alternatives. We know that there are other possibilities to solving our problems."
"It's a very exciting space, but ultimately it's helping people to facilitate a shift in what has value. And especially, value within things that we often say 'no, that's rubbish.'"
"We don't tell people what is right or wrong. We would never judge people for their choices, because that's not empowerment. I would never judge anybody's choice in fasihon. Our role is just to educate and bringing awareness, that there are so many other ways to do it."
"When you enter a space like that, with this sense of offering solutions that are based on 'right' or 'wrong', or judgement (...) you find that everybody in that room immediately feels connected."
"It is still and always will be the prime purpose for why we action the Possibility Project, and that is to restore some peace to very difficult times on people's lives. (...) It's an unusual measure of success, but I truly believe every human being understands that what it's worth it is far greater that money or trophies or titles or rewards."
"When you can't change something, you are forced to change yourself."
