On 27 January 2021, the Strong Cities Network, together with the United States Conference of Mayors, was honoured to host a Conversation on Kind and Compassionate Leadership with His Holiness the Dalai Lama.

In all, 74 mayors, governors, councillors and other subnational leaders from 20 countries around the world took part in the rare and intimate event, during which His Holiness answered questions from select mayors on how we can help to heal and bring unity in a world so affected by polarisation and hate.

His Holiness emphasised the simple but powerful message of the “oneness of humanity” and the roles that cities and local leaders have in bringing people together. A full write-up of the event is available here.
