Wellbeing Inspires Welldoing in Europe

Calling all European changemakers to the Hearth! The regional Hearth Summits in Europe are nurturing a whole new culture of social change as they bring changemakers together to champion, experience, and celebrate wellbeing.

These gatherings speak to the heart of a growing movement for changemakers to embrace wellbeing in their work. With deep discussions, moving art experiences, and embodied practices and activities, they are inspiring both sustainable change and sustainable changemaking in Europe.

Our European partners — betterplace lab, Impact Hub Athens, Pioneers of Change, and TheMerode Club — are thrilled to welcome you at their Hearth Summits.

Join a diverse group of participants — from activists, policymakers, business leaders, students, academics, artists, and more — to co-create the future of social change in Europe!
