Intercultural Dialogue for a Changing World

This year’s Global Conference explores the dynamic relationship between individual well-being and the systems that shape our global future. Through two parallel tracks—Whole Person and Whole Systems and Mental Well-Being in Future Societies—thought leaders from around the world will share insights on:

  • Systems thinking in education and healthcare

  • Corporate mental health strategies

  • Whole-system approaches to trauma

  • Holistic community policy frameworks

  • Mental health and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 1 & 3)

  • Mindful innovation for sustainable futures

  • Workplace well-being amid rapid change

  • Ethical approaches to mental health technologies

Join us for a transformative experience blending expert-led sessions, panels, roundtables, and community dialogue.
