Get ready for a global meetup of minds! The 11th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations kicks off July 9-10, 2025, in Qufu, Shandong—the birthplace of Confucius. 🏯 This isn’t your average conference: think of it as Coachella for philosophers, policymakers, and tech innovators, all united to tackle humanity’s biggest challenges.
Why It Matters
In a world where TikTok trends spread faster than peace treaties, the forum’s theme—‘Beauty in Diversity’—hits different. With 500+ guests from 70+ countries, including diplomats and AI experts, it’s a rare space where ancient wisdom meets futuristic tech. 🤝 From Confucian values to AI ethics, the agenda reads like a syllabus for saving civilization (no pressure!).
What’s on the Agenda?
- 🌱 Origins of civilization vs. AI’s role in shaping our future
- 📚 How Confucian ideas can fix modern social issues
- 💡 Global modernization without erasing cultural identities
Fun fact: This forum has been quietly shaping cross-cultural dialogue since 2010. In 2025, it’s doubling down on proving that diversity isn’t just ‘vibes’—it’s survival.
