Dehradun: Project FUEL, India, in association with the Singapore International Foundation’s (SIF) Arts for Good (A4G) Projects, recently launched a one of its kind digital World Wisdom Map.
This unique project features life lessons and stories of people from hundred and ninety five countries across the globe. The collation and exhibition of human wisdom is showcased on an artistic and interactive digital world map. It combines visual and wisdom anthropology that people of this diverse world have to offer each other, promoting cross-cultural understanding and creating social impact.
“I wanted to give the world a hopeful and fitting gift to end this tough year. A world map full of perspective and stories seems like a good effort in assisting people to create a life of purpose and power.’ adding, “using the tool of technology, it is easier to connect and exchange information to ignite hope and global participation in an unbiased and creative way,” said Deepak Ramola, the Founder & Artistic Director of Project FUEL. Apoorva Bakshi led as the Head for Strategy and Business while Ayushi Jaiswal helmed the role of Program Manager.
It took the team close to a year to document one story each for every country. In collaboration with ten talented Southeast Asian artists, thirty original pieces have been inspired by life lessons. Additionally, more than fifty students, five Indian and four Singaporean academic and non-academic institutions present a rare collection.
The World Wisdom Map has exclusively curated life lessons from Singapore, transgender women of India, voice of influence from across the world including Nobel laureate Jody Williams, Bollywood actors and actresses Abhay Deol, Sonakshi Sinha, Dia Mirza et al., popular Latvian musician Māra Upmane-Holšteine, Madame Sophie Trudeau (wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau), amongst others.
