Kindness Wins

What if kindness isn’t weakness, but a force that can truly change both people and society?

On UN Day, the poet, author, and lecturer Bob Hansson comes to Grimeton World Heritage Site with Kindness Wins—a performance built around questions of kindness, hope, change, and how people affect one another. With his signature blend of humor and seriousness, Bob Hansson moves between research, poetry, personal stories, and reflections on what it means to be human in a time often marked by anxiety and conflict.

Kindness Wins starts from the idea that kindness isn’t just about being nice. It’s also about action, responsibility, and the conditions we create for one another.

The lecture will be held at the World Heritage Site Visitor Centre and is part of the 2026 UN celebration. Pre-purchase your ticket by clicking the Sign up here! button.
