Hey folks! The 2025 International Forum on Mutual Learning Among Civilizations kicked off this Tuesday in the Macao Special Administrative Region, bringing together 50+ leaders, global groups and experts from around 10 countries. 🌏🤝
One highlight? Alfred Hornung, member of Academia Europaea, dropped major props for Confucius’ thoughts. He believes Confucius’ ideas—like continuous self-improvement and mutual respect—still hit home in our digital age. 💡
Hornung pointed out that Confucius urged active learning and deep reflection. Think of it like balancing your TikTok scroll with some self-reflection—pretty relevant when we’re flooded with info 24/7, right?
Here’s why it matters:
- Global respect: Encouraging dialogue over debate can bridge cultural gaps.
- Digital harmony: Applying age-old wisdom to online interactions could boost positive vibes on social media.
- Personal growth: Reflecting on values helps with career decisions, relationships and self-discovery.
Whether you’re a student in Jakarta, a dev in Bangalore or a creator in Manila, the forum’s message is clear: Ancient philosophies still have a seat at the tech-driven table. 🏛️💻
Stay tuned for more updates as discussions roll on through the week! #MacaoForum2025
