Festival Goal
There are some things money can't buy.
This festival was about all those immeasurable things!
The International Kindness Festival, which was the first of its kind in India, was conceptualized to Inspire 8,000 people to expand their perception of kindness, and empower them with tools to create impact at a Personal, Local and Global level.
Concept
The International Kindness Festival is a global symposium on the Science, Politics, Ethics and Practicality of everyday kindness.
Through the inspiring stories of people’s journeys, we shed light on the various faces of kindness, brainstormed how to break stereotypes, and challenged the existing perceptions of kindness, philanthropy & charity.
What sets this festival apart?
This festival was unique because it addressed an aspect of life which is neutral to age, gender, professional field or industry. It had a direct impact on the professional and personal lives of youth and grown ups alike!
