Is kindness vital in unkind times?  What is the value of kindness?  How do neurologists and psychologists understand kindness?  What motivates people to acts of kindness?  Where does kindness interact with creativity and healthcare?

Is kindness our secret weapon?

A week of curiosity designed to stimulate creative brains — combining in-person and online events. Blending familiar elements with fresh approaches — thought-provoking talks, a rich creative programme and exhibitions — this year also introduced Threads – small group sessions designed to spark action and shape the future.

Most in person events took place in the Naughton Institute, Trinity College Dublin.  Both online and in person events were free to attend.

Each year, the programme reflects our commitment to creativity, community, inter-disciplinarity, equity and the transformative power of collaboration, as well as our active response to transition and turmoil.
