Topic: The Individual vs The Context

A large part of our beliefs, values  and choices, are determined by  our unique personal context, as  also by the imperatives of the times that we live in.  Thus, there is a constant interplay between our personal  predispositions and  the larger contextual forces.

This session will explore this interplay through a bi-focal lens- EUM (Existential Universe Mapper), which looks at both the individual and the context.

The main emphasis will be on exploring the impact of living in an interconnected global village on individual well-being and development.
