Medellin used to
be the last place anyone would go

Not too long ago, it was known as the murder capital of the world crippled by drug-fuelled violence, crime, and corruption. Yep, it was no bueno.
Thanks to the work of dedicated community leaders, the city was transformed in record time, and it’s now considered a global model of urban transformation and social resilience.
Join us on an immersive adventure to explore Medellin’s remarkable transformation and get inspired by the change-makers who’ve made Medellin a global inspiration.
