More Detail
In 2014 prior to elections, Dr. Maher launched a massive program for training & coaching politicians on matters of leadership, human rights, interfaith, mutual respect, public speaking and awareness about the global issues. This program was called “Wisdomizing Political Practices”. In fact, this program involved many NGOs and opinion leaders who believe in the same principles. This program was later developed to be a global initiative for peace, sustainability and equality. That’s why in 2016 Dr. Maher Khedher along with some internationally renowned thinkers launched the “World Wisdom Initiative” in order to reduce the follies and increase interfaith. Mediterranean Business Academy, which adopted the world wisdom initiative is preparing now for a whole year of wisdom with 12 events covering the major issues of the day. This marathon of conferences and events will culminated by the World Wisdom Summit by the end of 2018 in order to start a new trend of wisdom and interfaith.
