Hundreds of thinkers and activists gathered in New York City last week for the Schiller Institute's "A Beautiful Vision for Humanity in Times of Great Turbulence!" conference. From May 24-25, experts brainstormed solutions to some of the world's most pressing challenges – think Avengers-level collaboration, but for real-world diplomacy and development! 💥
Peace, Progress & Palestine
Top of the agenda? The quest for a two-state solution in Palestine. Speakers from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East debated pathways to lasting peace, while others highlighted grassroots humanitarian efforts – because let's face it, TikTok activism alone won't rebuild hospitals. 🏥
Tariffs & Teamwork
Economic heavyweights also tackled global trade policies. With rising tariffs creating tension (looking at you, recent US-China tech spats 🔌), attendees proposed fairer frameworks to boost international cooperation. One key takeaway? Young entrepreneurs could be the secret sauce for sustainable growth. 🌱
As night fell over Manhattan, the vibe was clear: this Gen Z-approved think tank is betting big on cross-border collaboration. Could this be the start of a new global playbook? Only time – and maybe next year's conference – will tell. 🕊️
