Join us for a conference on
educating the heart and mind
5-6 June 2024, Bucharest
This event is designed for change-makers to engage in a series of experiences that will provide them with the tools they need to create personal and systemic transformation. Participants will engage in a series of meaningful conversations with cutting-edge educators, international experts, researchers, storytellers, neuroscientists, and renowned authors.
We partner with Emory University’s Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion-Based Ethics. Their programs under the Compassion Shift initiative – CBCT® (Cognitively Based Compassion Training) and SEE Learning® – provide tools for developing greater awareness, managing emotions, building resilience, harnessing compassion, and enhancing well-being.
Our world is experiencing a profound shift. The rise of artificial intelligence and automation is reshaping industries and job roles faster than ever before, rendering some traditional skills and roles obsolete while creating new opportunities. In this world, what it means to be human is being lost. We are seeing unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, burnout, and a lack of purpose, especially among the young. The conventional model of education, with its emphasis on standardized content delivery, is increasingly inadequate in preparing individuals for this new reality.
This conference will serve as a dynamic platform for educators, policymakers, industry experts, and innovators to convene and collectively explore the pressing need to redefine education in light of these transformative forces. We are inviting speakers to engage in thought-provoking discussions on topics such as wellbeing, systems thinking, mindfulness, compassion, resilience, leadership, creativity, and purpose. As we witness ongoing changes that have the potential to significantly alter all facets of our existence, it becomes increasingly crucial to cultivate the skills that make us uniquely human and apply them to empower future change-makers.
This closing session is set to be a heartfelt discussion on the incredible potential within each of us, tapping into and celebrating the amazing variety and depth of human ingenuity.
* Day 1: Simultaneous translation into Romanian is provided for the programme on Day 1.
