In a world that is increasingly shaped by emerging stressors like conflict, climate change, economic instability, and rising mental health challenges, where do we find the resilience, optimism, and hope needed to move forward?
We invite you to a day of celebration and dynamic dialogues with leading scientists, policymakers, practitioners, educations, influencers and advocates who make the case that now, more than ever, the science of human flourishing provides us with a path to transforming lives and unlocking our full potential.
In-person and online, and, for the first time ever: a two-day celebration
This year, we will address how hope, resilience, and optimism, can empower individuals and communities, particularly the youth in Kenya, to navigate and overcome contemporary challenges.
The summit will feature three unique tracks — Science, Policy, and Doers — each tailored to engage different audiences in meaningful dialogue and collaboration.
