SUMMARY:2026 Right Livelihood International Conference
DESCRIPTION:The Right Livelihood International Conference is a five-week global conference exploring how education can strengthen democracy\, collective intelligence\, and just futures. Bringing together Right Livelihood Laureates\, students\, faculty\, and community partners across continents\, the conference combines asynchronous learning with participatory dialogue and collaborative action. Rather than advocating specific outcomes\, the conference positions education as a democratic practice and the Right Livelihood College as a steward of dialogue\, student voice\, and long-term institutional learning. \nRegistration is free and open to the public. Sign up to receive conference updates\, session links\, and participation opportunities.
