The book We Have A Dream

The book consists of 114 portraits of some of the world’s most influential people together with young people and everyday heroes. Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, artists, politicians, and writers have chosen to participate in We Have a Dream to help inspire others to realize their own dreams and visions. Several spokespeople for the younger generation such as Malala Yousafzai and Pussy Riot, rub shoulders with those more worldly-wise and experienced, including Nelson Mandela, Patti Smith, Ai Weiwei, Richard Branson, Annie Lennox, and the Dalai lama.

Sweden’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and deputy prime minister Margot Wallström has written the prologue of the book. The texts are written by the Swedish journalist Daniel Rydén and are based on interviews with the participants. Each book spread includes a portrait by the photographer Albert Wiking, facts about the participant and personal stories and quotes from the interviews made by Oscar Edlund*.

An educational material based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is included in the book. The questions are designed to provoke reflection on the reader’s own role in the big picture, to help bring about the realisation that everybody’s actions can make a difference.
