Big Thinking.
Care of togetherness: From social isolation to collective well-being
In an era of climate crises, humanitarian disasters, and rapid technological change, how can togetherness move us from social isolation and increasing polarization to collective well-being? This Big Thinking panel will explore the role of research, knowledge-sharing, and community building in strengthening social resilience and resistance. Panelists will share insights for diverse knowledge dissemination for community and societal impact, offering both fundamental and applied approaches to deepening our care for each other, our communities, and the world—putting into practice actions that foster healthier, more connected societies.
Date: June 3, 17:15 – 18:15
