We celebrated World Philosophy Day with a talk and cafe style dialogues on the theme “Can we experience Unity in Diversity?”

It was an afternoon to discuss how to find unity in the diverse and complex world that we live in. And apart from all cultural, political  differences, how to find a a connecting thread that binds us to our timeless ethical values.

Many ideas and challenges were discussed, as well as solutions we each can apply every day.

For example the importance of dialogue and sharing our experiences in life to learn from each other rather than focussing on what separates us. Also, developing empathy and respectful communication in interactions with each other.

Each table presented the key elements of their discussions and the event concluded with a summary of all ideas and reflections from eastern and western wisdom on the theme.
