Jody Williams is an American political activist and a Nobel Peace Laureate. She recieved the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 for her work to ban landmines through the International Campaign to Ban Landmines. Her life lesson "Your life is not a popularity contest" comes from an incident in her school days.
World Wisdom Map is a unique project that documents the life lesson and story of people from each of the 195 countries in the world. The collation and exhibition of human wisdom is presented on a digital, artistic and interactive world map. The data has also been designed into education and art resources. This consciousness project combines visual, and wisdom anthropology that exists in the world and further sparks awareness about the diversity of lifestyles, as well as the coping mechanism that people employ to create a meaningful life. 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.
World Wisdom Map is conceptualised by Project FUEL, in association with Singapore International Foundation.
