      Axum

      ABOUT THE SUMMITABOUT THE SUMMIT

      Fostering Intergenerational Wellbeing in Kenya

      Axum will convene a two-day regional summit in Nairobi, Kenya, bringing together changemakers from across Africa.

      This year’s Hearth Summit Nairobi explores the way we work, build & create, placing ecological and relational wellbeing at the heart of how we navigate the challenges of the digital age.

      CONTENT PILLARSCONTENT PILLARS

      Relational Wellbeing

      The Relational Wellbeing track explores how we deal with trauma, grief, and relational pain with a focus on inner personal and collective healing as the foundation for sustainable impact and self-renewal. It also provides an opportunity to reimagine how we approach interpersonal, intergenerational, and communal restoration, as a way to alleviate the burden of burnout through collective care and shared life.

      The Way We Work, Build & Create

      At a time of polycrisis (climate change, conflict, and social unrest), made worse by fatigue and uncertainty, changemakers across sectors report deep exhaustion, with many operating in survival mode rather than thriving in purpose-driven work. Urgency has become our default, leaving little space for healing, reflection, or the inner work needed to sustain long-term impact. This track focuses on how we shift towards cultures of care, trust, and wellbeing for individuals, and in institutions and movements.

      Wellbeing in the Digital Age

      With the increasing importance of digital literacy in human interaction, this track will explore how we connect and act as global and local citizens, and how we build care and community in an environment where smartphones, social media, AI, and constant connectivity shape how we live, work, and interact.

      Ecological Belonging

      This track explores the relationship between nature and human flourishing. It honors how ecological restoration, food sovereignty, and intentional environmental planning and preservation, can also restore people, while building a sense of purpose as we collectively connect with the world around us.

      PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTSPROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

      The summit is then organized around two major sub-themes, each anchoring two of the four core pillars. Each day begins with a plenary session that frames the discussions for the day and sets the context for the two pillars being explored.

      Schedule At A Glance

      The Hearth Summit Nairobi unfolds over two immersive days, each grounded in the summit’s core pillars. Day 1, Tending the Hearth, focuses on how we work, build, and create, exploring wellbeing in social, professional, and ecological contexts. Participants engage in thematic workshops on burnout, workplace wellness, money and wellbeing, and ecological wellbeing, alongside creative labs in floral design, dance, painting, and candle making. Day 2, Gathering at the Hearth, emphasizes relational and digital wellbeing, with sessions on restoration, reconciliation, coping with grief, and the role of technology in connection, activism, and community. 

      Together, the two days combine plenaries, workshops, and creative labs to offer reflection, learning, and embodied experiences for cultivating wellbeing in personal and collective life.

        In response to COVID-19, The Wellbeing Project, in collaboration with Amplifier Art launched a campaign with top art curators and public-health advisors from around the world, looking for symbols that promote mental health, wellbeing and social change work in this new age.

        “I did this as a small reminder to people that it´s necessary to take care of our health when leaving home and having contact with others, giving special importance to hygiene, but in addition we must eat well and keep good habits to strengthen our body, our internal defenses. This is not easy for everyone, many don´t have access to proper food, either for financial reasons or availability, but despite the difficulties we must try our best to take care of ourselves and stay healthy.”

It all starts in your head, knowing yourself is the key for a happier life.”

        In the current Covid-19 crisis thinking on the future just makes me experience much anxiety. As I currently see things, there’s no point to think about the future when a storm of uncertainty surrounds us and our lives are on hold. I think it’s time for us to stay mindful, concentrating on the present moment and tackle everyday problems in the calmest way possible. If our mind is overloaded, our capacity response will stay low which won’t allow us to progress. I suggest practicing yoga and meditation as a powerful tool to stay calm and coherent.

If our mind is overloaded, our capacity response will stay low which won’t allow us to progress. I suggest practicing yoga and meditation as a powerful tool to stay calm and coherent.

        LET YOURSELF REST

        In response to COVID-19, The Wellbeing Project, in collaboration with Amplifier Art launched a campaign with top art curators and public-health advisors from around the world, looking for symbols that promote mental health, wellbeing and social change work in this new age.

        Capitalism tries to push the idea that we need to be productive. A lot of us feel like we need to constantly hustle and be on the grind to achieve our dreams. But giving yourself time to rest and take care of yourself is a gift that can empower you. It sounds counter-intuitive, but rest ultimately allows you to be in a stronger place to tackle whatever comes your way. But we are in a global pandemic right now. It’s necessary to rest and breathe and check in with yourself!

        “My poster is one of a series of three original oil paintings. I used oil due to its association with portraits of important historical figures, adding gravity to the message in the poster. The idea is to insert the mask into attractive and aspirational images, representing the idea of wearing a mask as a positive thing. Each poster is based around the word breathe. Firstly – around the literal idea of being able to breathe freely by wearing a mask, secondly – allowing the planet the space to breathe by doing your part and thirdly – addressing the anxiety that comes with the unknown elements of the crisis.”

        “I created this artwork because I wanted to celebrate all of the acts of selflessness and kindness, both big and small, that we have seen during the pandemic. But I was also seeing so much hatred and blame. I wanted to remind people to withhold judgement, to remember that we are all in this together and that a little kindness goes a long way. Even wearing a mask and maintaining distance is an act of kindness and respect to those around us. I chose the rainbow and sunshine as a bright and positive backdrop to the message – the symbol of hope, of rays of sunlight which shine through in a dark storm. I hope this message can help people to stay positive, and that it encourages everyone to spread a little love in these difficult times.”

        “This work riffs off the famous phrase of the Indian spiritual master Meher Baba, “Don’t worry; Be happy,” later converted into song by Bobby McFerrin in 1988. Its concise message of positivity has at times been misunderstood as careless or passive, but simplicity is powerful and mantras like these continue to be used because they encourage us during challenging times. While its difficult to be happy in the face of this crisis and the uncertainty it brings, together we can withstand the curve, flatten it, and recover- not through worry or panic, but through collaboration as a world community. With this work, I want to express a simple message for all of us: to resist fear-mongering messages and to focus on our innate human resilience.”

        “The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength’ In my opinion, mental health is the most overlooked aspect of human nature. Seldom we give it the attention it deserves. No amount of wealth guarantees ones well being and current global scenario is a reflection of the same. At the moment, when the world is facing a, what seems to be an immortal, enemy, no amount of wealth or militia is enough to fight it. In these times, when people are forced to be at home, take a step back and reflect. As much effort is being put in maintaining and enhancing physical strength, try and focus on your inner peace as well. What makes you happy? A question, to which most of us have an answer to, but rarely do we act on it. We have always been too pre occupied with things and troubles, which now do not seem to matter as much. So let’s take a deep breathe, and focus on what is more important – YOU. Be the change you wish to see in the world. World peace, begins at Inner peace. Stay Positive. Stay Home. Stay Safe”

        NOTABLE RESEARCH FINDINGS

        Only 2 studies out of 102 studies on teacher wellbeing conducted in the last 5 years were in low-income countries; this report offers findings from 2 additional low-income countries. People who study teacher wellbeing recommend improvements to the school atmosphere, but no studies of school-level or policy interventions were found.

        Engagement:

        When on the cusp of burnout, some teachers said that getting more deeply engaged in their work, for example by leading the school-wide IT team or serving on a district-wide committee, prevented burnout.

        Successful students:

        Teachers experienced wellbeing when they saw their students win awards or achieve their goals, and liked this as much or more than receiving awards themselves.

        Relationships affect each other:

        Teachers, principals, students, parents, and policymakers’ behaviors and attitudes intertwine. Improving one may help them all. Teacher wellbeing across these actors was related to respect, praise, motivation, and hard work.
