The round table on Bebelplatz, Berlin on September 9, 2006

Dropping Knowledge (Engl. For creating knowledge / left ) is a non-profit organization that in summer 2003 the director Ralf Schmerberg , the filmmaker Cindy Gantz and activist Jackie Wallace was established with the aim of a global dialogue on the major issues to create the world. On the website of the project, questions have been collected which are aimed at an event called “Table of Free Voices” (English for “Table of Free Voices”). This round table took place on September 9, 2006 at Berlin's Bebelplatz with 112 celebrities at the largest round (or ring-shaped) table in the world with a diameter of 38 meters to answer 100 of these questions.

The answers were recorded, written down and - if necessary - translated into English. They should form the basis for a web-based discussion forum.

Prominent participants

ask

The main part of the project are the questions gathered on the website. The main idea is that just asking the right question can start a global dialogue that can change the world for the better. Dropping Knowledge has currently gathered around 10,000 questions. These questions were rated for relevance to the Table of Free Voices .

"Living Library"

A forum has been set up on the project's website where the responses of the participants of the "table" can be discussed by visitors in order to encourage an ongoing discussion on the problems of humanity. Despite the naming, this forum has no relation to the concept of the living library .

documentary

At the end of 2010 Ralf Schmerberg published the documentary Problema , which summarizes the central questions and the answers of the participants.
