Why Do Relationships Matter So Much?
In a time when technology accelerates everything, why have human bonds become even more essential? In this gathering, we will reflect on how relationships shape who we are, influence our choices, and sustain our emotional health, our leadership, and our sense of belonging. From different perspectives — behavior, psychoanalysis, and contemporary culture — the panel invites us to rethink the quality of the connections we build with others and with ourselves, showing that, in the future, relationships may be the most valuable asset we will have.
