Human Agenda puts on its own signature events, engages in roundtable dialogues on critical human needs, and calls for personal and policy actions to create a more humane and meaningful existence for all. Signature annual events of Human Agenda are hands-on learning opportunities to deepen our understanding and improve our practices with respect to how we live our own lives and how to address the physical poverty and time poverty that harm so many lives.
