Parallel Lab 4 Fueling Futures: Empowering Youth via Education and Food System

4月18日, 下午2:30 - 下午4:00
SANGHA Movement Center

At a time when the future feels increasingly uncertain, the question is no longer how we prepare the next generation for existing systems, but how we enable them to reimagine and regenerate the systems themselves. This lab explores the intersection of youth education, food systems, and human wellbeing not as separate domains, but as deeply interconnected foundations of a life-centred economy. If education shapes how we see the world, food systems shape how we relate to nature, and well-being shapes how we show up as human beings, then the future we are building depends on how these three evolve together. This session invites participants to move beyond fragmented interventions and ask: How do we cultivate a generation that can think in systems, act with responsibility, and build futures where both people and planet can flourish?

Parallel Lab 6 Awaken & Bloom: Female Creativity in the AI Era

4月19日, 下午2:30 - 下午4:00
SANGHA Movement Center

At a time when uncertainty and systemic internal friction have become the norm, traditional mechanistic leadership models—built on one-way extraction and zero-sum competition—are no longer functioning. This session will take a hard-edged, analytical approach to uncover the underlying business logic of “female leadership,” stripping away stereotypes of softness or tokenism, and redefining it as a core resilience asset that enables organizations to navigate across cycles. We will examine how women in the workplace build antifragile “life anchors,” and explore how qualities such as long-termism, empathy, and systems thinking are inherently embedded into the decision-making networks of modern corporate governance. This is not merely a warm conversation about individual awakening; it is an attempt to open-source a new leadership algorithm—one that can hedge risks and enable regenerative prosperity—for businesses and long-term capital facing growth anxiety.
