SUMMARY:Is it Time to Rethink the American Value of Independence?

SUMMARY:Discussion - Is Kindness an Important American Value
DESCRIPTION:As the USA approaches its 250th anniversary\, this event offers an opportunity not only to reflect on the past\, but to explore the role kindness can play in shaping the next 250 years. \nAt a time of growing division\, disconnection\, and global challenge\, kindness has the power to strengthen communities\, build understanding\, restore trust\, and create positive ripple effects across society. More than an individual act\, kindness can be seen as a practical force for leadership\, collaboration\, wellbeing\, and social progress. \nThrough inspiring stories\, dialogue\, and shared experiences\, the session will explore a simple but powerful idea: \n“What if kindness is one of the keys to the next 250 years?” \nParticipants will be invited to consider how small actions\, human connection\, and compassionate leadership can help shape a more hopeful future for communities\, organisations\, and generations to come. \n  \nSign up HERE \nHosted by K20 Summit Cofounders – Maria Roca\, Francesca Donlan\, Jenny Haase and Alan Williams

SUMMARY:Discussion on American Values at 250
DESCRIPTION:In our two previous conversations on American Values we talked about the values at the time of the founding and what values we would like to see in the present and future. \nOur discussion for World Values Day will come at this from a different angle and you need not have been at the previous discussions to participate. \nThe US Values Alliance looks at individual values from multiple angles\, but our overarching goal is to understand how people can activate their highest values. \nAt this session\, we will discuss the value of naming values to aspire to. \n\nWould publishing “official” American Values change anything?\nHow does a community actually choose what values are important to them?\nHow does a community assess that they are living up to the values they name and hold\nthemselves accountable?\nWho decides the values – voters or elected officials?\nIn France\, they use a panel system to decide what is “French culture”.  Would that be respected here?\n\nJoin us for a fun and friendly discussion on Thursday\, October 15th at 9am Pacific in honor of both World Values Day and America’s 250 Anniversary. \nSign up HERE
