When we are happy we feel energised and motivated to give and be our best. How can we create a workplace culture where work becomes a pleasure rather than a drudge and we put an end to the 'Monday morning blues'?   This event is organised by the Brahma Kumaris and the UK Values Alliance.

Discussion about the big issues facing our society is no longer limited to a select few - the rise of social media has opened the field to everyone. This means injustices and outdated assumptions can be challenged, and marginalised voices heard, but those with questionable motives and harmful agendas can also be heard – and often shout louder. Is this shift empowering a new age of social activism and accountability, or are we seeing the corrosion of informed debate and the rise of mob-like behavior? Join this interactive discussion organised by the UK Values Alliance.

Join this celebration of WVD with prominent speakers from India and around the world giving us powerful insights into the different practical ways that we can bring our values to life in all aspects of our daily lives – in the personal and family sphere, in our spiritual lives, in our lives at work or in education, and as good citizens and engaged members of society.

Worldwide, democracy and political leadership are at a crossroads. Faced with crises like climate change, inequality, and war, some nations are turning towards autocratic, populist politicians who reach for easy and divisive answers to complex challenges. We need something very different. Leaders who govern for the whole of humanity, not just their nation or party, who have courage and wisdom to tackle systemic problems, and resilience to do so despite the opposition of vested interests. So, how do we cultivate that leadership? Sustain it in systems that are corrupting? And make it attractive to voters. Organised by Global Compassion Coalition.
