TEDx Talk: How Can University Make You Flourish
Together with Bianca Briciu, these speakers ask what if education could do more than transfer knowledge? What if it could foster well-being, awaken resonance, and cultivate the integration of mind, heart, body, and spirit? Join them for an inspiring talk that explores transformative strategies grounded in spirituality, art, and self-reflection. They will introduce the global framework of the Inner Development Goals (IDGs) and discuss the crucial role of deep connection for learning.
