🌟 This Tuesday, December 16, 2025, the 2025 International Forum on Mutual Learning Among Civilizations kicked off in the Macao Special Administrative Region! More than 50 leaders—from governments to global NGOs and top experts across 10 countries—are here to bridge cultures and share ideas.
A standout moment came when Alfred Hornung, member of the Academia Europaea, praised Confucius’ thoughts as “a timeless bridge between cultures.” He highlighted how Confucian principles of harmony, respect, and ethical leadership can guide today’s fast-paced world. “In an era of rapid change, these teachings offer a solid foundation for mutual understanding,” Hornung said. 🤝
Think of it like unlocking a life cheat code 🎮—Confucius’ lessons on benevolence, righteousness, and lifelong learning can level up our teamwork and empathy. Hornung pointed out that young leaders and entrepreneurs, especially, are tapping into these ideas for ethical innovation. 💡
The forum’s agenda covers education, sustainable development, and tech’s role in intercultural ties. Over the next few days, workshops and networking sessions will explore how to turn Confucian wisdom into real-world strategies for global cooperation. 🚀
For Latin American students, professionals, and culture enthusiasts, this event shows how ancient Asian philosophies still ignite fresh perspectives today. Stay with us as we share more insights from Macao’s cultural crossroads! 🌏🔥
