The Transformational Power of Women: XIV Encuentro Mundial de Valores

Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. August 2022

The Encuentro Mundial de Valores (EMV) (Worldwide Meeting on Human Values) is an annual event that was launched with the visit of H.H. the Dalai Lama back in 2006, in the city of Monterrey, Mexico, founded and directed by María Cristina González Parás as a non-profit NGO.

Every year, this event offers a different theme and gathers around 5,000 participants, with more than 350 speakers since 2006, that contribute to the wellbeing of the city by creating alliances and programs that help improve all sectors.

The Charter for Compassion has collaborated closely with the EMV since 2015, especially through the NLxLaCompasión program that has added 17 Compassionate Cities, implemented Compassionate Integrity Training (CIT) and Think Equal for more than 20,000 participants, planted 32,000 trees; and strengthened partnerships between Universities, Government and local businesses.

The XIV Worldwide Meeting on Human Values will take place on September 9th and 10th of this year in the Pavilion M Auditorium and the Convention Center, Monterrey, Mexico. The main theme of this year's edition is: The Transformative Power of Women. We will explore this topic in face-to-face conferences and workshops with women leaders and social activists from around the world, from education, environment, economy, social responsibility, inclusion, compassion, science and well-being, spirituality and human rights.

As every year, we will bring together more than twenty world-class leaders and speakers with the purpose of sensitizing hearts and minds by offering deep dialogues and an accumulation of personal and community resources and tools, thus sharing global best practices to raise the level of consciousness and help in the creation of a better world.
