World Values Day is 15th October 2020
World Values Day is an annual campaign to increase the awareness and practice of values around the world.
It provides an opportunity to think about our most deeply held values and explore and act on them with others.
This Year’s Theme is Values in Action.

What are values?
Values are the basis of our personal and collective judgments about what is important and valuable in life. They influence our decision-making on all sorts of issues, including social, environmental, and political ones.
World Values Day Virtual Knowledge Café 15th October 2020
This year’s World Values Day Knowledge Café will be the fifth since our first one in 2016.
Whenever we engage in conversation, whether one-to-one or in a group, face-to-face or online, we have the opportunity to put our values into action.
There are many values that can be expressed in conversation, such as honesty, respect, trust, integrity, listening, constructive disagreement, speaking the truth, and the search for truth. Most of us hold these values or similar ones but do we regularly live them in our everyday conversations? And could it be that we lose track of these values when we are talking to others, and that’s why our conversations don’t go so well?
In this Knowledge Café, David Gurteen will give a short presentation on the importance of living our values in our conversations and pose the question:
“What values do we wish to exemplify in our conversations with others and how do we achieve that?”
We will then have 3 rounds of small group conversations, where we split up into small groups of 3 or 4 and go into Zoom break-out rooms to discuss the question.
Finally, we will return to the main room to share our thoughts and insights with the whole group.
