Elvira D. Milano Building Peace in Early Childhood

"It's in the first six years of life that all the possibilities of humanization are developed. The childhood is then a magical place of unfolding of potentialities."

If we think that the initial level covers the period from birth to 6/8 years old and taking into account all the learning that happens there, we see the importance of making emotions visible, recognize them, and that the learling of conflict resolution is crucial for the development of proactive individuals for a society that believes that peace is possible."


Cesar Murillo DOING THE RIGHT THING - Maintaining Good Corporate Citizenship where the Competition is Corrupt

The roundtable discussion would center around the ability of multi-national and local companies and organizations to compete, operate effectively and/or provide a positive social impact in environments where corruption is prevalent. Typically, competition comes from organizations and companies emanating from nations that are not bound by the same types of anti-corruption laws and regulations that US, UK and other "western" governments are supposed to adhere. Indeed, in some cases the corrupt practices may even be state sponsored.

How can you maintain your moral compass and remain competitive?

Alok Deoraj Adolescent Health Should be the Top Global Priority

We have made unprecedented progress in technology and health to improve the quality of life and increase our longevity. Our focus however, on the health of adolescent phase of the life has been muted. Today’s adolescents will be driving sustainable development goals (SDGs) and they will be 2030 policy and decision-makers. Emerging evidence from the biological and environmental interventions suggest that death and disability among adolescents are preventable because the health behaviors, e.g., substance abuse, smoking, inter personal violence or food choices that are adopted during adolescence can have lasting impacts on health through the life course. Therefore, tending to their health needs and providing environmental and emotional support for them to thrive, must be the top global priority.
