"The present that we live as a society is complex. Although there are many people with the desire to transform their cities, communities and public spaces, it is often difficult to take the first step. To this, The Empty Square has become an important ally and catalyst for global agents and initiatives that allow us to expand our perspective on how we address urban challenges."

- Miguel Mendoza, director, Nómada Estudio Urbano

“Just to know that a place like the Empty Square exists is a comforting thought in this time of ecological, social, and cultural emergency. Each visit to the site leaves you with new ideas, new energy, and a strong feeling that change is really possible. The way it has connected people, minds and movements in the short time since its launch points towards something of great importance and hope.”

- Morten Skriver, artist and author

“As an artist on the global stage with a focus on the need for a new kind of peace and freedom, I welcome The Empty Square. Disseminating knowledge and mutual understanding; opening the mind and the imagination; weaving threads through different cultures – it’s more important now than ever. The timing, the purpose, and the set-up of The Empty Square couldn’t be better. Take a break from the high-pitched media and find your way to The Empty Square. There is so much food for thought!”

- Khalid Albaih, artist/political cartoonist

”Rain was pouring down. I made a cup of coffee and sat down listening to “The Fox”. It went straight to my heart. “The Fox” is a masterpiece and an example of your extraordinary program for the training of the imagination. It seeks to nurture local life through personal involvement. The amazing story is an unexpected gift which exemplifies the meaning of truly changing the narrative. You’re not just embellishing a professional and commercial input with artistic feathers. You’re creating a synthesis between the real, powerful, literary story and the profound understanding of the ways that we can change our lives for the better.

I find it to be sustainable. In every way. And I know – even though the fox will be a tough competitor – that it will only grow stronger and stronger.”

— Helle Katholm, former PR-director for Bang & Olufsen, magazine editor, author and writer

"Staying updated with the thought-provoking ideas and insights is a must for people who wish to be inspired and motivated by the company of like-minded people sharing ideas and insights from different parts of the world. The Empty Square is doing a great job by publishing purposeful material by many authors to be read and shared around the globe without any bias."

- Azbah Ansari, founder and CEO, Peacemakers Pakistani

“The Empty Square continously drives wedges into the old society that we’re in the process of abandoning and should have abandoned long ago. The hard part is not developing new ideas but replacing old ones and thereby freeing us from dead weight. It’s deeply inspiring to follow the many fertile and free movements sprouting in a tired world.”

Peter Schultz Jørgensen, urbanist and author
