Wellbeing inspires welldoing

Co-Creating the African Wellbeing Summit Dakar-Thiès

In 2023, I had the honor of co-creating the inaugural African Wellbeing Summit Dakar-Thiès 2023, a collaborative initiative between the Senegal-based NGO Tostan and The Wellbeing Project, a global movement dedicated to fostering inner wellbeing among social change-makers. As the lead for program curation and coordination, I worked alongside a dedicated team at Tostan, the Wellbeing Project and Partcours to shape the summit's vision and execution....

A Gathering of Diverse Voices

The result? The summit was a vibrant convergence of over 180 participants from 20 African countries, including 50 youth representatives and 72 speakers. Together, we explored holistic wellbeing through various lenses—individual, collective, societal, and planetary. An important focus was on mental health, including the role of art therapy in expression and healing. Artistic expression played a central role, with dance, music, and visual arts facilitating deep reflection and connection. A participant aptly described the experience:

"It was rich, colourful and memorable! I made special connections and was blown away by the togetherness and culture of the event. The spicy fish, the music and dancing, the brilliant content—all in all—I really loved it!”

Continuing the Journey

This summit was part of a broader series of Regional Wellbeing Summits initiated by The Wellbeing Project, aiming to catalyze a culture of wellbeing for changemakers worldwide. The next gathering, the Hearth Summit, is scheduled to take place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, from June 17 to June 20, 2025. This event will continue the dialogue on wellbeing, bringing together global changemakers to share insights and foster connections.
