Educating the Heart

In May, Garrison Institute International, the Flow Foundation and Erasmus University co-sponsored a fascinating conference in the Netherlands, “Education of the Heart: A Fundamental Change in Education and Didactics.” Held at Erasmus University’s Rotterdam School of Management and organized by our colleague Sander Tideman, an international sustainability and leadership advisor, featuring His Holiness the Dalai Lama in dialog with our colleague Dr. Dan Siegel, a leading psychiatrist, bestselling author and trustee of the Institute. The conference involved hundreds of policymakers, scientists, business leaders, students, and educators in a discussion about the innovations in education and training that are needed to create a more compassionate and sustainable society.
