New Perspectives on Collective Healing, Social Justice and Well-Being is an exciting international webinar series, jointly hosted by The UNESCO Routes of Enslaved Peoples Project and the Global Humanity for Peace Institute, University of Wales Trinity St David (UWTSD). These webinars are supported by AfroSpectives and Spirit of Humanity Forum.
In this 7th webinar, two esteemed leaders will explore the conditions necessary for global communities to heal and flourish. They will reflect on questions such as:
- In what way could we characterise a global architecture of healing?
- How might multi-sectoral partnership help co-construct a just and caring political system?
- What is the role of leadership in this important process of social transformation?
During this event, the keynote speakers will offer their respective perspectives on these questions, and engage with each other in dialogue and with the audience through the Q&A.
To bring this series of webinar to conclusion, the Vice Chancellor of UWTSD will express the University’s commitment to the UNESCO collective healing initiative and to announce the next webinar series for 2024.
