Did you know that, according to the World Health Organization, mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and behavioral disorders are major causes of illness and disability among young people? This number shows us an urgent reality. It’s not enough to just prepare young people for the job market. We need to educate them in an integral way.
Young people today face a scenario of uncertainty and complexity about the future. At the same time, they are constantly bombarded by social media with messages about what they should be and what they should have. When you talk about spiritual intelligence, you are not talking about religion, you are talking about a natural human capacity to search for meaning and to ask: Who am I? What is the meaning of all this? What can I expect from the future?
Education has a fundamental role here. We must go beyond a utilitarian vision where education is only about getting a diploma and a good job.
Spiritual intelligence is the next step beyond emotional intelligence and soft skills. That’s why we invite you to the Symposium on Spiritual Intelligence in Education.
This event is designed for those who believe in integral education, one that develops not only cognitive skills but also emotional and spiritual dimensions, helps our young people find meaning, purpose, and resilience in today’s world. So let’s reflect together on how spiritual intelligence can transform classrooms into spaces of meaning, hope, creativity, and care.
So save the date, it’s on October 4th, with international researchers and speakers. We will also have simultaneous translation into Portuguese and Spanish. So share this invitation with your friends and come be part of this journey of transformation in education.
The world is changing at an incredible speed and education needs to support young people in this process. Help them understand who they are called to be with their unique and authentic identity. Because education is much more than just personal knowledge, it’s about transforming lives.
So I look forward to seeing you at the Symposium!
