The Saroni Roy Foundation, in a laudable endeavor to commemorate the 154th birth anniversary of the revered Mahatma Gandhi, orchestrated the prestigious Mahatma Peace Symposium at the distinguished University of Technology Sydney (UTS). This meticulously planned and culturally enriching initiative “My Land, My Story – Meri Kahaani, Meri Zabaani”, aimed to forge meaningful connections and foster profound cultural synergies between the nations of Australia and India.
A noteworthy aspect of this symposium was the notable convergence of esteemed Australian politicians, respected indigenous leaders, and representatives hailing from the vast tapestry of diverse multicultural communities. The event served as a dynamic platform for individuals from different walks of life to come together, exchange ideas, and engage in meaningful dialogues.
The heart of the symposium pulsated with the celebration of Gandhian principles and values, which remain a beacon of wisdom in today’s complex world. The discussions that unfolded during this intellectual confluence were nothing short of enlightening.
Moreover, the enduring and timeless concepts of Satyagraha, Sarvodaya, and Swaraj, which were championed by Mahatma Gandhi, his “Constructive Program” & “Village Economy Model” as a forerunner for sustainable cities today, formed the cornerstone of these profound conversation.
In essence, the Mahatma Peace Symposium at UTS not only paid a fitting tribute to the great Mahatma but also served as a pivotal platform for cross-cultural dialogue, fostering mutual understanding, and contributing to a more harmonious and interconnected world, by tapping into the Cultural Economy, Creative Economy & Circular Economy
