The programme for the international scientific conference-symposium “Navigating Volatility with Meaning: Societal Wellbeing, Education, and Work” is now available!

Taking place on 12 November 2026 in Vilnius, the symposium, organised by SMK College of Applied Sciences, will bring together international academics, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and business representatives to discuss how individuals, organisations, and communities can navigate an increasingly complex and uncertain world.

The event will focus on three key themes: Meaningful Living and Societal Wellbeing, Meaningful Education, and Meaningful Employment. Through presentations, discussions, and the exchange of research and practical insights, participants will explore topics such as mental health, social inclusion, positive learning environments, resilience, future skills, leadership, and the development of supportive workplace cultures.

The symposium aims to encourage interdisciplinary dialogue, connect academic knowledge with real-world practice, and inspire meaningful and sustainable solutions to today’s societal challenges.
