Global STIR Summit – Mr. Mahendra Shah

Forming a Worldwide Youth Sustainability Alliance to involve youth in the mindfulness dialogues and decision making.

The cocreation Summit is not one to attend, sit back and listen. It is one that gets you into the driver’s seat of a major global and local transition starting within ourselves. A new way of thinking.

Dr. Mahendra Shah is from India but owns and exploits a yoga resort on Bali. This visionary personality has been in open dialogue with the STIR Foundation to try to realize the idea of health valleys near every town in the world. Shah was active in the United Nations and the World Bank for decades and is a successful entrepreneur as well as motivator for change. He is preparing a documentary for 2022 summits referred to as the Earth Odyssey 2022.

The brochure of 3 phases can be requested. We are very honored to welcome Dr. Shah among us as speaker, panel member and partner.

STIR Summit Motivation

Einstein: “We cannot solve issues with the same way of thinking that created them”.

“So we need to change our way of thinking”, Jean-Paul Close

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations can be seen as unprecedented consequences of a way of thinking and structuring society. This way was highly successful in the past when the human population and planetarian resources could still be balanced within a political, social and economic reality. Now it cannot anymore. We draw a line and which we all take “the next step”. That is the motivation of the Global STIR Summit. Just watch a short and challenging video impression

So we need to change our way of thinking. To do that we introduce the 5 core natural human values for Sustainable human progress as well as our shared responsability between citizens and institutions to assure this values at all times. This is what we are going to practice during the Summit, just to get a feel what it is to reason using a different reference framework than what we are used to.

For 10 years now this reference framework developed in the Netherlands and resulted into different multidisciplinary communities. Two will be highlighted, AiREAS and COS3i. AiREAS signs up with 21 municipalities to work on health and habitat together with citizens through open governance and participation.

Two programs will run intertwined in October: one for current institutions and citizen representations, one for innovative, participatory learning for students within the upcoming generations.
