Ideas Islands: Spend one week on a Swedish Island

Author and global speaker Fredrik Haren invite creative people around the world to apply for the opportunity to spend a week on a Swedish island with five or six of their friends from June 1 to September 30. 

Ideas Island was created to inspire and motivate people with great ideas, give them the time and space to sit down and focus on their ideas, relax and feel comfortable. Fredrik Haren aims to encourage creativity and innovation because he knows that the best ideas come when we are alone in a place that provides us with relaxation and close to the water.

Island Description:

Ideas Island is a 7,000 sqm big, private island close to Stockholm, Sweden. There is a 65 square meter house on the island, located in the middle of the island, it is only a few meters to the water on all sides. The house will sleep about 6 people in 5 beds in 4 bedrooms (+ one small guest cabin.) The house is not fancy, but a typical Swedish summer house. It has running water, electricity, washer, heating and water closet, etc.

The house might be basic, but the island is magical. It has its own beach, its own dock, plenty of room to run around, and yet small enough to always be close to water. Even though it is one of the 10 most central private islands in Stockholm, the island feels very isolated and secluded once you are on it. In most directions, you see nothing but water and trees, yet you always know you are close to civilization. You get to the island by rowing about 200 meters.

Funding:

• The staying on the island is free but you have to pay for your travel and food expenses.
• You can also donate some money to the charity, normally guests give about 1000 USD per week. Right now, the money goes to offer free therapy to poor families of autistic children in the Philippines.
