Past Event

Hosted by the SEE Change Initiative, CAHM Initiative and International Arts and Mind Lab.

This forum is being held at the global launch of the Inner Development Goals (IDGs), which were created as a call to action to foster the inner skills and capacities needed to advance the Sustainable Development Goals and foster human flourishing. We will facilitate a critical dialogue exploring the link between flourishing skills, IDGs and our individual and collective capacity to recognize and heal the collective trauma in present in our communities today and promote a positive health focus in public health. Implications for current efforts, new action, research, education and policy will be discussed in the context of JHU and Baltimore City.

This event will be offered as a hybrid event. In person attendees will join together in Feinstone Hall (E2030), while virtual attendees can join via Zoom. Refreshments will be provided for those attending in person.
