space EditorEditor’s note: This week, I was lucky enough to meet an inspiring college student who is part of a club on campus that focuses on doing small acts of kindness for others. From giving away chocolates during finals to simply being there for each other, these students are igniting the spirit of compassion and generosity in each other. Check out her personal reflection in this week’s newsletter about a life changing conversation she had on the bus! space

An Illustrated Poster For People Who Love Their Work

‘Arbejdsglaede’ is a wonderful Scandinavian word that literally means ‘work-love’ or ‘work-glad’. There is no direct translation for this word in the English language, so Maptia decided to use crowdsourcing to explore its meaning.
