On November 20, 2025, we invite you to “Compassionate Communities”, a CONCORDIA Academia-branded event at Mindspace Victoriei. We’ll be waiting for you from 6 pm, with something good before the event starts😉.

PAY IT FORWARD is not just the title of a good movie, but a philosophy of life. We invite you to discover together how we build compassionate communities through small gestures with big impact. We have prepared for you a panel with 3 special guests (and a host 😊) who know how to build meaningful communities where you live and work.
