Event Category: Valuesthon 2024

Modern high tech and AI can be helpful but they are changing the world with ever-increasing speed, creating multiple dangers for children and all kinds of challenges to parents and carers. Being a good parent is anyway often stressful and exhausting. Moreover, we tend to forget how important it is to look after ourselves as well as our children. We will discuss practical ways to balance discipline and love, set healthy boundaries, show simple yet powerful tools to raise happy and balanced children, and above all show you how to stay patient, loving and mentally healthy. Organised by Association for Living Values International

Instead of debating whether AI is good or bad, what if we used it as a mirror to understand what truly matters to us? In this powerful, reflective experience, you’ll explore how your deepest values—rooted in nature, human relationships, and emerging technologies—can guide how you show up in a rapidly changing world. Whether you feel overwhelmed by AI’s complexity or curious about its potential, this session offers a grounded and inspiring path to clarity. This is not a lecture. It’s a co-created experience—intimate, insightful, and designed for meaningful dialogue. Organised by Bells Solutions.

How can you stay grounded in the person you want to become? This workshop will help you explore what your future self would stand for, and what values you want to carry forward. You’ll uncover the gaps between how you live today and the life you envision, and identify the micro-habits that can bridge that gap — one intentional moment at a time. Together, we’ll discover how tiny, values-driven actions can create massive change over time. You’ll leave with a practical, doable plan to honor your deepest values every single day. If you’re ready for a life that feels purposeful, aligned, and sustainable, this is your invitation to begin. Organised by SparkVision.

We often move through our busy lives on autopilot, guided by habits and inherited values we may not even be aware of. This short sophrology practice offers a chance to pause and reconnect. Through gentle movement, focused breathing, and guided meditation, we’ll explore a personal value and how to align more consciously with it in daily life. This is one of several such events organised by the International Sophrology Federation.
