I still remember that date: May 16, 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was attending a panel discussion at the UN, organized as part of the International Day of Living Together in Peace<\/em><\/strong> (Jivep<\/a>). Dominique Steiler, founder of the UNESCO Chair for a Culture of Economic Peace, was part of the panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His speech, full of wisdom and humanity, deeply moved me. He spoke about peace, vulnerability, and connection. And above all, about this “economy of peace” that places humans and relationships at its core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

One phrase particularly resonated with me: “Learning from elsewhere (from others) helps illuminate blind spots.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When he stopped speaking, the audience erupted in applause (you can see this by watching the video until the end). Sitting among the audience, I realized that throughout his speech, he had spoken about inclusion without ever using the word. And that was what had resonated so deeply with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As soon as the panel ended, I went over to thank him for his words. He didn\u2019t know it yet… but I already had an idea in mind. I didn\u2019t know it yet either… but it was for May 23, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world<\/em>; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has. – Margaret Mead<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A few months later, when it came time to define the theme for the 2025 edition of the International Day Against Harassment and for Inclusion in the World of Work, Dominique Steiler\u2019s intervention came to mind. So, I did some research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UNESCO Chair for a Culture of Economic Peace<\/a> advocates a vision in which the economy regains its original vocation: to serve the common good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
