Theme: Embracing Change

This event occurred on
February 28, 2023
Minburi, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon
Thailand

We live in a rapidly changing world -- with the pandemic and conflicts shaking our globe. However, instead of allowing these winds to blow us around like reeds, we ought to instead embrace the change, being our own agents of it. These talks will focus on how and why each of us are altering our societies. Moreover, our experiences through adversity will be highlighted and our actions stepping up against the status quo will be widely discussed to encourage communities to make differences.
