On Wednesday, April 22, 2026, from 9:00 to 10:30 p.m., the web meeting “Sustainability and Social Engagement” will take place. This will be the third event in the series “Buddhism and Complexity in Dialogue”, organized by the Complexity Institute in collaboration with the UBI Research Center and Il Cerchio Monasteries and Zen Centers.
The meeting will explore the relationship between complex thinking and Buddhist perspectives, starting from a particularly vivid and concrete theme: the relationships that sustain collective life, between responsibility, coexistence, and the future.
The dialogue will be moderated by Enrico Cerni. Speakers will include Ines Giunta, Associate Professor of General and Social Pedagogy at the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, and Massimo Raveri, former Full Professor of Religions and Philosophies of East Asia at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
This event continues the path launched in recent months, which in the first two webinars focused on some of the key categories in the dialogue between complexity and Buddhism, from interdependence to non-linearity, and from karma to causality. It is also part of the journey leading to the residential workshop “Buddhism and Complexity”, scheduled from June 12 to 14, 2026, at the SanboJi Zen Monastery in Berceto.
