Attention all do-gooders: Sunday, March 21, is the Goodstock virtual conference.Register for the Goodstock conference. “Goodstock: Being Good is a State of Mind” is the largest global conference on doing good deeds, held as a half-day conference organized by Ruach Tova (“Good Spirit”, part of the Arison Group), the leading Israeli volunteer center. The conference is in the framework of Good Deeds Day (good-deeds-day.org), a global movement spanning more than 108 countries and millions of people. Good Deeds Day was initiated in 2007 by businesswoman and philanthropist Shari Arison, head of the Arison Group, a global business and philanthropic group that invests in ventures providing added value to people, society, the economy, and the environment.
“The idea behind Good Deeds Day is to shine a spotlight on doing good deeds that grow the circles of good in the world. This year, it was important for us to also hold a virtual global conference with thousands of participants, sharing their good deeds and expanding the circles of good together, strengthening the idea that it is always possible to do good and be good. Participants from more than 100 countries will take part in our Goodstock gathering, and it is heartwarming to see the outpour of goodness and the connection everyone feels towards one idea that unites us all – being good,” says Shari Arison, initiator of Good Deeds Day.
This year’s virtual conference will focus on key topics, case studies, and stories surrounding the performance of good deeds in all aspects of life and will open with a special interview featuring Shari Arison. A wide variety of individual plenary sessions will be held, including ‘Leading Change Through Volunteering’; ‘Being Good is Good Business’; ‘Sustainable Development Goals: 10 Years to Go’; ‘Education: The New Generations of Good Doers’; ‘What it Means to ‘Be Good’; and ‘Good Cities.’ Breakout sessions of smaller virtual groups will cover additional topics such as creating and implementing virtual programs, changing the world through sports, and doing good for the environment by volunteering. The virtual conference will include 85 exhibitions representing 61 countries and will enable thought leaders around the world to exchange ideas, connect, and expand their network.
“Our goal is to discuss, showcase, and delve into key topics, case studies, and stories around doing good and being good,” says Hannah Wojno, Director of Good Deeds Day, curators of the conference.
