Stockholm 24th of October 1998

We, municipalities and city districts, which on the UN-day October 24th 1998 have participated in the construction of the Future Vessel in the Stockholm Globe Arena, wish to deliver the following message.

  • Thank you children and young people. Today on the UN-day you have showed us that all is possible. Your construction of the Future Vessel is a proof of what we can achieve together if each and everyone of us contribute with our imagination and devotion.
    We, the grown ups, wish to hand over a world in peace where water, air and earth will last for all future generations.
    You are the key to the future. We need you.
    We will now take your desires, ideas and thoughts with us back to our communities and promise:
  • To listen to you children and young people and respect your opinions
  • To Always consider the best of all children and young people when we make decisions
  • To help you to tie bounds of friendship with children from all over the world
  • To be brave, have courage to chose new ways and never give up
  • To spread these thoughts, in the spirit of the Future Vessel
