The world is on fire and not in the positive sense of the word. Wars are raging, and aid funding is being cut. Military expenditure increases whilst climate ambition decreases. Perhaps it is no wonder that, according to the World Happiness Report, young people in Western Europe and North America are much less happy than they were 15 years ago. In Sweden, this year’s Generational Report, 43 percent of people aged 15–25 stated that the future looks dim.
Young people are being forced to combine full-time studies with working extra and volunteering on the side to stand out in a highly competitive industry.
Professionals are faced with a career consisting of stacked short-term work contracts (if one is lucky enough even to find employment).
At FUF, we want to give people the tools to contribute to a more just and sustainable world. Sometimes, that means arranging seminars, providing internships, or tutoring young students in communications. And sometimes it means reminding you to permit yourself to put on your own oxygen mask first, to breathe, and connect with the self-compassion needed to keep going when it feels like the world is tumbling in the wrong direction. That is why we are hosting two members’ exclusive events about self-care.
Join us for a meditation session on self-compassion on May 11th at 17.30.
And a yoga session on May 18th at 17:30.
