Using personal stories as an example, participants will tell how they moved towards their dreams and opened up new horizons, how the past inspires bold experiments, and why a happy future is built on the ability to appreciate simple moments. The main topic will be discussed during five special sessions.

Also, one of the main results of the Symposium will be the formation of a community focused on continuing international dialogue, cooperation and joint design of positive scenarios for the development of the present and future. To do this, a special communication and networking app will be launched on the days of the events.
