The second of the Tagoreans' symposium in 2016 was held at the Nehru Centre on Thursday 22nd September 2016 and was the second of two seminars organised in 2016 to commemorate the golden jubilee anniversary of the Tagoreans. The symposium was preceded by a drinks reception hosted by The Tagoreans.
Our world is threatened with destruction by both predictable and unpredictable harms to humanity. Growing religious conflicts, war, political repression, poverty and environmental demise could make earth inhabitable to humans very soon. This event once again aimed to explore Tagore’s thoughts, ideas and vision to help meet these threats and to help save humanity.
