1. The power of kindness and why we should train ourselves to be kinder
2. A simple act of kindness can be the spark that inspires a great change. This is the belief held by the members of the Global Youth Alliance for Kindness, a youth-led initiative that started in September 2019 after the first World Youth Conference on Kindness, which took place in New Delhi, to inspire and mobilise the youth of the world to transform the world through acts of kindness. Drawing on recent discoveries in Science, which have found that values which inspire kindness, such as empathy and compassion are “skills” which require training, this talk addresses why it’s time for us all to renew our hope in kindness, have conviction that kindness does matter and shares stories of young people who are literally helping to achieve a transformation of the world through kindness, on a very practical level.
