Panel Discussion: Cultivating a Beautiful Garden of HKLThrough Education
Diana Lockett Hosting The Second Panel Discussion (Far Left)
Q: How do you see universities cultivating or failing to cultivate Humility, Kindness, and Love?
Dr. Valerie Luzadis: Higher education, particularly in the sciences, often emphasizes intellect alone, relying on the brain and asking people to leave part of themselves at the door. This is a major gap. Through heart-forward science, we need to bring the conversation forward and understand how we can bring more of our whole selves to what we do.
Q: How can universities support young people in bringing their whole, authentic selves to serve humanity?
Dr. Valerie Luzadis: By explicitly bringing more energy, love, Humility, Kindness, and Love into science and higher education, we can bring more heart into what we do. Bringing more heart into our work makes us better at everything. This is not a weakness; it strengthens us.
Q: How can we transform political settings so that humble, kind, and loving leaders and scientists have a voice in decision-making?
Dr. Nicole Arbour: Education often teaches people to leave their humanness at the door. When training leaders, we should model what we want to see in others. We need to provide tools that include HKL. The so-called “soft skills” are actually among the most important, and they need to be brought back into education at all levels.
Q: How can we instil or find hope?
Dr. Nicole Arbour: Hope can be found in everyday things, in seeing small changes and recognizing that change does not always come fast. Sometimes change happens generationally. We are not a patient society, but we need to weave more patience into our lives and take those little sparks and build them into hope.
Q: How has HKL transformed your life?
Rev. David Bayduza: A friend brought me to HKL, and his family had modelled HKL for many years. When he asked me to mentor him in starting an HKL chapter, it resonated with me. For me, it was a message I received from God to share my story and my song, practice who I am, celebrate, and come alive without worrying about what people will say. When we bring ourselves into a collective, we make a difference, but when we separate from the collective, we still need to make that difference personally. That is what HKL did.
Q: How can education bring these gifts to young people around the world?
Rev. David Bayduza: I was given the privilege of creating literature that expresses Humility, Kindness, and Love for a young generation of readers, allowing them to become part of the story and create their own adventure.
I created a choose-your-ownadventure, “select your own HKL quest” book series that educates readers, engages them with real-life issues, and gives them the opportunity to see Humility, Kindness, and Love in action and interaction throughout the book.
Q: What practical tools can educators use to support students experiencing stress, anxiety, loneliness, and depression?
Dr. Valerie Luzadis: Educators can model these values themselves. Rather than just answering intellectual questions, we can change how we teach the curriculum. Humility, Kindness, and Love can be included in learning outcomes as part of the structure, expectations, and practice in the classroom. The warmth, grace, love, humility, and kindness experienced throughout this conference can also happen in a classroom.
