ABOUT GAPMINDER
Gapminder’s mission is to promote a fact-based worldview everybody can understand. We have a vision of a world where all people can use facts to understand the world, to make better decisions for positive change. By extensive knowledge testing, we identify systematic misconceptions about the world, and develop free communication and teaching materials (with data-driven storytelling and animating statistics) to dismantle them. Gapminder is a Swedish non profit foundation, with base in central Stockholm.
