Participants at Tomorrow People conferences:
ICHW consists of two main components:
|
Inside the Room [Learning]:
• Experiential and dynamic learning • Expansion of beliefs and perceptions • Case study reviews • Implemented working programs • Themed panel discussions |
Outside the Room [Networking]:
At ICHW, we believe that learning about happiness and well-being happens not only through formal lectures but also through conversations and shared experiences. We cultivate and encourage connections, discussions, and networking so that participants can engage in deeper conversations and build relationships that last beyond the conference. |
We also believe in service and giving back. At every conference, we identify a local business or non-profit organization to support and uplift while we are in the host country. For over 10 years, Tomorrow People Organization has been supporting children from kindergarten to university levels in the Bangkok slums, in collaboration with the Duang Prateep Foundation in Thailand.
