The Wellbeing Project

Being part of a movement is personal, aspirational, and rooted in hope. At its heart, the wellbeing movement for social change is about optimism—an unyielding belief that change is possible. Over the past year, The Wellbeing Project has experienced inspiring growth and momentum, as our network evolves into a movement that is both locally rooted and universally human. This year brought significant milestones, including expanding our research base with Georgetown University to explore the role of #IntergenerationalTrauma and #EcologicalBelonging in social change. Meanwhile, we made remarkable progress in preparing for our next global gathering, the global #HearthSummit, scheduled for June 2025. Reimagined as a “hearth”—a place of warmth, unity, and shared purpose—the Summit will bring changemakers together to nurture one another while advancing a shared commitment to a culture of wellbeing in changemaking. We have seen the ripple effects of our work continue to spread around the world: this year, 10 regional Hearth Summits embraced the transformative power of local wellbeing approaches to social change challenges hosted by Impact Hub Athens, Pioneers of Change, Bangalore Creative Circus, Tostan, Innovation for Wellbeing Foundation, Centro Universitário Facens, Instituto Desacelera, Axum, Impact Hub Kuala Lumpur, Fundación TAAP, Synergos and Colsubsidio. Thousands of changemakers have joined us, bringing their unique flames to our collective fire. We are thrilled to see the momentum of our movement continue to grow—stay tuned for more gatherings and exciting updates in Latin America, Africa, South Asia and beyond hand in hand with betterplace lab, ETIC (Entrepreneurial Training for Innovative Communities), Omega Institute for Holistic Studies. Despite the increasingly complex and interconnected crises of current times, we remain ambitious. Thanks to your commitment and support, The Wellbeing Project and our growing network are better positioned than ever to help changemakers, wherever they are on their journey. Together, we're turning the aspiration for a culture of inner wellbeing into a global reality. We are deeply grateful to have you be part of the journey.

En octobre dernier j'ai eu le plaisir de participer au Hearth Summit, sommet du bien-être pour le changement social, organisé à Thiès par Tostan et le The Wellbeing Project. Au programme, des échanges sur le bien-être, les transmissions intergénérationnelles, les nouvelles technologies & la parentalité ou encore la santé mentale. Entourée d'autres organisations opérant en Côte d'Ivoire (Hello Stop au Chat Noir, La Ligue Ivoirienne Des Droits des Femmes) mais également d'ONG, d'OSC, de bailleurs et de bénéficiaires de programmes venus de toute l'Afrique, nous avons pu échanger sur ces thématiques, si peu abordées et pourtant si transversales.
