Humanity Rising
JOIN THE CONVERSATION
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
WHAT IS HUMANITY RISING?
Humanity Rising represents a movement of people and organizations coming together to take counsel on how to leverage the crisis of the coronavirus pandemic into an opportunity for human renewal and increased resilience to future challenges.
The goal of the Summit is to create an international coalition strong enough to transform conversations that matter into actions that make a difference.
Please join us as we come together to chart our course to new specifications, navigate with sustainable coordinates, and embrace new models that take the wellbeing of our planetary ecology and all communities into account.
There are many ways you can join and get active:
• Register below and join the daily conversations
• Go on our UbiVerse and upload a blog or video
• Live Stream our sessions on your Facebook Page or platform
• Add your organization to the growing coalition
• Establish a local Humanity Rising Group
• Contribute a session by speaking and convening panels
Working together in a spirit of radical collaboration, we can change the world.

PARTNERS
Humanity Rising is designed to be a global commons for all participating organizations to share what
they are developing for their own networks with a larger global audience. All partners will share what
they are offering as they engage in deep dialogue about the human future. The activities of each
organization will be profiled on a central schedule so that as organizations offer their workshops,
every stakeholder in the network will know about it and be invited to participate. This allows
participants a wide scope of possibilities and activities for involvement in the most important
conversation the world can have at this moment in time.
