Öckerö Lighthouse Conversations

Navigating a changing world through better public conversations

Öckerö Lighthouse Conversations gather people across sectors, cultures and generations to explore how to create a healthy future for public conversations, our society and the world.

Welcome to Öckerö Lighthouse Conversations 2026!

Good conversations build strong communities. Communities build trust. Trust creates hope. And hope fuels the energy needed for action.

Together in The Storm - Building Resilient Communities with Hope and Trust

The purpose of the Öckerö Lighthouse Conversation 2026 is to strengthen resilience, trust, and hope in a time of profound global and local disruption. We want to facilitate new perspectives through thoughts, ideas and friendships. This will open up for new possibilities we did not see before.

An overall goal is to bring hope into our hearts and minds for the future. It is not to have consensus, but clarity, connection and shared responsibility, so that participants leave better equipped to contribute to resilient and trustworthy societies in their own contexts.

Welcome to Öckerö Lighthouse Conversation 2026! 11-13th September, Öckerö, Sweden

Shared Perspectives, Co-creation & Actions

In our Lighthouse Conversations, we co-create and bring light to questions of our time, with our future in mind. Together, we explore these issues from multiple perspectives—personal, organizational, and societal—with the aim to inspire meaningful actions.

Beauty & Breathtaking Landscape

Welcome to Öckerö! Just outside Gothenburg, you’ll find a stunning archipelago. The island of Öckerö is easy to reach, and accommodation can be conveniently booked through Öckerö Lighthouse Conversations.

Music & Food

We believe that thoughts and reflections awaken through the senses. At Öckerö Lighthouse Conversations, each day is enriched with shared moments, music that stirs the soul, and food that delights the senses and bring us together.

Through our conversation, we enrich, challenge, inspire and inform each other
