"We are fortunate that throughout the world there now exists programs that seek to bring secular ethics into our modern education systems. It is important to spread these programs widely and to support a worldwide movement to integrate basic human values into education"
—His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, FDCW's Patron
We are delighted to invite you to the Growing Compassionate Hearts Conference on the 10th and 11th October 2023 hosted by FDCW.
Growing Compassionate Hearts Conference 2023
10 & 11 October, 9-11am and 5-7pm BST
Our Mission
Our aim is to equip children and young people with the skills for creating a kinder, wiser, more compassionate society. This is an exciting opportunity to hear from a wide range of experienced educators and practice the methods that have proved effective for them.
FDCW has been inspired by His Holiness the Dalai Lama's vision of educating the heart not just the intellect. An education that is based on values like forgiveness, kindness, and affection.
About the Conference
By watering the seeds of natural empathy, building resilience through better understanding of how things exist, and above all, caring for others, our young people can face the future with courage and confidence.
This two day conference offers a wide range of inspiring talks, lively discussions as well as experiential methods, and new perspectives on walking this path alongside children and young people.
