About the Event
The Regional Public Organization “International Women’s Union” and the Department of Social Design and Crisis Intervention invite you to a unique meeting dedicated to one of the most pressing issues of our time — how to overcome internal crisis and find stability in a changing world.
“Overcoming: From Internal Crisis to Social Sustainability” is a space for sincere dialogue, where everyone can take off their habitual masks, look within themselves, and discover new meanings even in the most difficult circumstances. We have brought together experts, thought leaders, and caring individuals to collectively answer the questions: how to turn inner emptiness into a point of support, how to maintain stability, and how to rediscover oneself.
Our meeting will unite experts, leaders of public organizations, entrepreneurs, and everyone ready to speak about what truly matters and seek new meanings. Together, we will discuss how to transform inner emptiness into a foundation of strength and how personal stability becomes a resource for the entire community.
