Small Giants Academy and Gross National Happiness centre Australia is excited to host 'Conversations with Extraordinary People' webinar with Julia Kim and Wesel Dema.

Join us for an engaging dialogue exploring the heart of Gross National Happiness (GNH) and its transformative potential.

Julia will share her profound experiences from Bhutan, offering insight into what GNH means to her personally and how it shapes happiness and everyday life. She’ll also discuss the possibility of adapting the GNH Index to Western societies and share her most valuable learnings from Bhutan.

Wesel will reflect on her time working at the GNH Centre Bhutan, the real-world implementation of GNH, and the challenges that come with sustaining these values. She will also share her experiences of maintaining GNH principles while living in Australia.

The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask your own questions and delve deeper into the practical application of GNH in today’s world.
