Global Nexus Series of conferences by Writers Capital International Foundation

Writers Capital Foundation Introduces Global Nexus Series of Conferences to Spark Global Change

Mysuru: The Writers Capital International Foundation has announced the launch of Global Nexus, a transformative series of international conferences designed to bring together educators, thinkers, and visionaries from around the world to drive meaningful change through academia. Founded by Preeth Padmanabhan Nambiar, a celebrated educationist and humanitarian, this initiative is set to revolutionize the intersection of intellectual discourse and real-world impact.

The Global Nexus series, an ambitious project of the Foundation, aims to unite scholars, educationists, and the general public in a shared mission to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and explore solutions to pressing global issues. While the Writers Capital International Foundation is known for its popular events such as the Panorama International Arts Festival, this new initiative promises to add greater depth to the Foundation’s commitment to humanitarian values, engaging communities worldwide in discussions that inspire real action.

Vision Behind Global Nexus

Global Nexus is not just another academic conference series. It seeks to create a platform for cross-disciplinary conversations that span beyond literature and the arts, delving into diverse fields of study. Through monthly virtual seminars, scholars will have the chance to present their research in concise, five-minute sessions, promoting impactful dialogue on a range of topics.

“Our goal is to spark ideas that lead to transformative actions,” said Preeth Padmanabhan Nambiar, Founder and CEO of the Writers Capital International Foundation. “We believe that academia must extend its reach, collaborating across disciplines to offer practical solutions for the challenges we face today.”

The series will also feature keynote speeches from globally renowned thought leaders, setting the stage for discussions that challenge the status quo and explore innovative approaches to critical issues.

Engaging the Global Community

Global Nexus is designed for both scholars and the public, encouraging open participation from all who wish to engage with groundbreaking ideas. The conference will serve as a bridge between academic knowledge and real-world application, offering members of the public the opportunity to interact with thought leaders and gain fresh perspectives on topics that shape the world.

“We invite individuals from all walks of life to be part of this intellectual movement,” said Irene Doura Kavadia, Secretary General of the Foundation. “This is a chance for everyone, not just academics, to engage in conversations that could change the way we view our future.”

A Step Toward Global Impact

Initially held virtually, the Global Nexus series will offer monthly Zoom-based seminars, with plans to expand to in-person events at select universities and colleges worldwide. This evolution into physical venues will provide deeper engagement and foster collaborative problem-solving on a more intimate level.

For educationists, Global Nexus represents a unique opportunity to present research on a global stage, engage with peers across disciplines, and be part of a movement that transcends conventional academic forums. For the general public, it offers a rare chance to connect with thought leaders and contribute to shaping the future through dialogue.

Leadership and Vision

At the helm of this visionary project is Preeth Padmanabhan Nambiar, a veteran academic and humanitarian leader with decades of experience in bridging the gap between intellectual pursuits and societal progress. Supported by Irene Doura Kavadia, who brings her expertise in international collaboration, the leadership team is poised to make Global Nexus a driving force for change in the academic world and beyond.

Speaking on the significance of this initiative, Johanna Devadayavu, Chief Controlling Officer of the Writers Capital International Foundation, stated, “Global Nexus is not just about gathering intellectuals; it’s about igniting the kind of dialogue that can spark real, measurable change. We are creating a platform that connects minds globally, with a clear focus on turning ideas into actionable solutions.”

Global Nexus series of conferences on arts, literature and academia

Global Nexus: Igniting Change through Academia

In today’s rapidly evolving world, there is a pressing need for academia to take center stage in driving societal change. Recognizing this necessity, we have envisioned Global Nexus—a transformative series of international conferences aimed at uniting educationists, thinkers, and enthusiasts from around the globe. Hosted by the Writers Capital International Foundation, an organization spread across 87 countries, Global Nexus seeks to be a pioneering platform where the exchange of knowledge leads to meaningful impact on both academic and societal fronts.

At the heart of Global Nexus is the understanding that academia must move beyond traditional boundaries and embrace interdisciplinary collaboration. This initiative is not confined solely to literature and the arts but will extend across various academic subjects, fostering conversations that the world can derive inspiration from. By creating a bridge between intellectual discourse and real-world application, these conferences will play a pivotal role in shaping new paradigms and perspectives.

The Aim of Global Nexus
The goal of Global Nexus is simple yet profound: to inspire change through academia. We believe that when minds come together, powerful solutions emerge. This series of conferences will bring together renowned educationists, scholars, and thought leaders from diverse fields to share their research, insights, and experiences. By facilitating these conversations, we aim to spark ideas that can lead to transformative actions in academia and beyond.

Moreover, we are committed to engaging the global community—both academics and non-academics alike. Through Global Nexus, we seek to not only educate but also empower individuals from all walks of life, providing them with the opportunity to participate in discussions that can shape the future. The conference will feature monthly virtual seminars, each lasting 2-3 hours, delivered through Zoom, with delegates from around the world presenting their research in short, impactful sessions.

A Platform for Thought Leaders and the General Public
Global Nexus will serve two key groups:

  1. Educationists: These scholars will act as the voices of change, presenting their research and leading discussions that challenge the status quo. Each presenter will be given five minutes to share their research, providing concise yet thought-provoking insights into critical issues. Renowned keynote speakers from various academic disciplines will open each session, setting the tone for a series of engaging discussions.
  2. The Global Community: Beyond the academic elite, Global Nexus invites members of the public to actively participate. By attending these seminars, the general public can gain a deeper understanding of key issues across various fields, interact with global thought leaders, and take away actionable ideas to implement in their own communities.

Why You Should Join
For educationists, Global Nexus offers a rare opportunity to present their work on a global stage, connect with fellow scholars, and be part of a movement that transcends conventional academic forums. It is a chance to contribute to a larger cause, impacting not just the academic world, but society as a whole.

For the general public, this is an invitation to be part of an intellectual revolution. By attending Global Nexus, you will be able to interact with some of the brightest minds in academia, gain fresh perspectives on a wide range of topics, and engage in discussions that can shape the future.

Looking Ahead: Expanding to Physical Venues
While Global Nexus will initially be conducted virtually, with monthly sessions hosted on Zoom, our vision extends beyond the digital realm. After a few successful virtual events, we aim to bring the conferences to physical venues across select universities and colleges worldwide. These institutions will have the opportunity to host in-person events, allowing for deeper engagement, face-to-face networking, and collaborative problem-solving.

Leadership Behind Global Nexus
At the helm of this initiative is Preeth Padmanabhan Nambiar, a visionary leader with a rich history in academia, literature, and humanitarian efforts. As the Founder and CEO of the Writers Capital International Foundation, Nambiar has been a driving force behind numerous international projects aimed at fostering a culture of creativity, intellectual growth, and humanitarian values. His extensive experience in education, particularly as the former Head of the Department of English at the University of Cambridge in the Maldives, has provided him with unique insights into the intersection of academia and real-world change.

Supporting this endeavor is Irene Doura Kavadia, the Secretary General of the Writers Capital International Foundation, who brings her vast expertise in international collaboration and leadership. Together, Nambiar and Kavadia lead a global team dedicated to creating platforms that elevate voices from all corners of the world, breaking barriers between academic disciplines, cultures, and communities.

Join Us in Igniting Change
The power of academia lies not only in its ability to generate knowledge but also in its potential to inspire action. Through Global Nexus, we invite you to be part of a global conversation that seeks to challenge the status quo, explore new ideas, and create lasting impact. Together, let us embark on this journey to spark meaningful change, inspire new ideas, and make a lasting difference in the world.

In Memoriam: Dr. Edmundo Torrejón Jurado (1940-2024)

The world of literature, medicine, and history has lost a true luminary with the passing of Dr. Edmundo Torrejón Jurado, a distinguished Bolivian physician, surgeon, poet, writer, and historian. Born in Tarija, Bolivia, in 1940, Dr. Torrejón Jurado dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge and the betterment of humanity. His passing on August 10, 2024, marks the end of an era, but his legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched and the vast body of work he left behind.

A Life of Service and Dedication

Dr. Torrejón Jurado’s career as a physician and surgeon was marked by a deep commitment to the health and well-being of his patients. He served as a professor at the “Juan M. Saracho University-Tarija” and “San Francisco Xavier University-Sucre,” where he educated and inspired the next generation of medical professionals. His expertise and dedication earned him membership in the “Bolivian Academy of Surgery” and the “History of Medicine,” where he played a vital role in advancing medical knowledge and preserving the history of the profession.

One of the most notable moments in his medical career came when he had the honor of serving as Pope John Paul II’s doctor during his visit to Tarija, Bolivia. This experience was a testament to Dr. Torrejón Jurado’s exceptional skills and the high regard in which he was held by his peers.

A Voice in Literature and Poetry

In addition to his medical career, Dr. Torrejón Jurado was a prolific poet and writer. His literary contributions were recognized both nationally and internationally, earning him numerous awards and accolades. He was a full member of prestigious organizations such as PEN International Club, “Poets of the World,” and aBRACE, among others. His poetry, characterized by its profound depth and emotional resonance, earned him the 1st National Poetry Prize in 1977, the 1st Latin American Poetry Prize from the Givre Foundation in Argentina in 1989, and the “Grand Prix Solenzara de Poesía 2011” in Paris.

Dr. Torrejón Jurado’s literary works were not confined to Bolivia; they were translated into seven languages, including English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Arabic, and Indonesian, allowing his words to reach and inspire a global audience.

A Champion of Literature and Culture

Throughout his life, Dr. Torrejón Jurado was a tireless advocate for literature and culture. He served as the Ambassador and IFLAC Delegate in Bolivia and was the curator of multiple editions of the “International Book Fair” in Tarija-Bolivia. His leadership extended to his role as the President of the National Board of Directors of the Bolivian Writers’ Society and as the Secretary of International Relations for the same organization.

Dr. Torrejón Jurado’s passion for literature and culture also led him to participate in numerous international events, including the Paris International Book Fair, the Havana International Book Fair, and the National University of Mexico. His presence at these events, where he often delivered lectures and presented his work, was a testament to his standing as a leading figure in the literary world.

A Legacy of Peace and Inspiration

Dr. Torrejón Jurado’s contributions were not limited to literature and medicine; he was also a staunch advocate for peace. He was honored with the “MISSIONARY OF PEACE Prize” in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 2021, in recognition of his efforts to promote harmony and understanding through his work.

As an active participant in the Panorama International Literature Festival and a cherished member of the Writers Capital International Foundation, Dr. Torrejón Jurado was an inseparable part of our community. His wisdom, humility, and kindness will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

The passing of Dr. Edmundo Torrejón Jurado is a great loss to the worlds of medicine, literature, and culture. On behalf of Hon. President Prof. Preeth Padmanabhan Nambiar and Secretary General Prof. Irene Doura Kavadia, we extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and all those whose lives he touched. His legacy will continue to inspire future generations, and his contributions will remain a guiding light in our collective pursuit of knowledge, peace, and artistic expression.

May his soul rest in peace.
