Doctors, physiotherapists, breathing and fitness instructors, innovators and visionaries - they all promote healthy lifestyles, body culture, food quality and the use of digital technology to improve our physical and mental functions. This summer we will meet them at the Meltingpot Forum in a unique Longevity concept. Come get inspired and live a better quality of life.

SCIENCE & EDUCATION
#quantumphysics #schoolsofthenewage #futureofscience #universityvspractice #newtalent #amazingdiscoveries
They condition and stimulate each other, hand in hand they pull society forward. Science and education are essential building blocks of progress. What is already possible today, even though we continue to consider it science fiction? What discoveries are being made in schools and how can we prepare future generations for a world we do not yet live in? We will talk about all this with renowned scientists, academicians and representatives of different approaches to education.

LITERATURE & ART
#architecture #stories #powerofsatire #history #music #joyvschallenges
Without the arts, we wouldn't be here and hosting the Meltingpot Forum. Who knows if we would have made it through the tough times. Art as one of the oldest forms of expression opens the door to emotion, knowledge and inspiration. It holds up a mirror to us. What is it currently reflecting? Contemporary literary and artistic achievements in a broader context at Meltingpot 2023.

HUMANS VS. NATURE
#environment #infrastructure #fashion #climatechange #activism #wellbeing
Activist no longer means extremist. Environmental activists are growing in number among scientists, visionaries, artists and giant corporate bosses, and their aim is to show us all that it can be done. That we can live in a world we won't destroy. That the idea of putting man and nature "head-to-head" is passé.

VISIONS FOR THE FUTURE
#newtech #futureofwork #ai #universe #humanpotential #metaverse
A vision is created when dreams become plans. There are countless possible scenarios for where our society will go. How will the coexistence of humans and technology evolve? Is the future one in the service of highly sophisticated artificial intelligence, or an awakening of humanity and a shift to a new level of consciousness?
