Content

We believe that compassion is a fundamental building block of communities, spreading kindness, understanding, tolerance, warmth and connectedness between people. It is a quality that can be cultivated through practice and it means being aware of how our actions affect other people and ourselves. In the spirit of spreading compassion, we are organizing an international online conference, “Circle of Compassion – Youth work based on compassion”.
﻿
We invite you to join an inspiring exploration of compassion and discover its many facets. The conference will be held online and, far from being a traditional seated event, will be held in English. Selected speakers will run interactive workshops highlighting the importance of compassion for empowering ourselves and developing a culture where compassion is part of the work balance.
﻿
The conference will take place on 15 March 2024, via the Zoom online platform, between 9.00 and 14.00 CET.
