Sandbox Global Summit – Day 3: Creating the Sandbox Playbook

January 25th, 2012 by Sandbox

The final day of the Global Summit saw tremendous creativity of the 200 Summit participants come out on the “Playbook Wall” when we asked all Sandboxers and special guests to write down the one things that drives them and their projects forward and the one thing they would want to share with the rest of the world. We were impressed by the powerful messages that we saw being posted on the Wall. “You are your own superhero – what is your keynote?” “Your failure can lead your next success”, “never stop creating and share your ideas” … we collected over 300 messages from the Sandbox community on how to turn this world into a better place and how to do better. We are now working on collecting the key messages from the Wall and publishing them in the Sandbox Playbook which will be available to the rest of the changemakers and innovators out-there in a few months.


In addition to creating the Playbook, we ran 24 more sessions which, combined with the sessions from the previous day, summed up to almost 70 sessions in the 72 hours we spent together held by some of the most inspirational and driven people we have ever met. Sessions from Day 3 included:

We ended the day with an auction of art pieces created by a group of participants using objects from a flee market in Lisbon that were meaningful to them, the proceeds of which were donated to a local charity helping children with the Down syndrome.

Finally, when all was said and done at around 10:00 p.m., the party went into early morning hours with the 200 new best friends from around the world we thought we never had.

The Summit is now over. But the most beautiful thing is that with the relationships we built over the past 3 days, we can confidently conclude that this is just a powerful beginning of something a lot greater…to be continued…
