Literacy for Democracy & Business is our second international conference that addresses the topic of reading to today's most pressing issues. This time, it is aimed at the business community.
We strive to support business leaders in building inclusive, competent, growing organizations.
Research has proven that reading can achieve these effects.
Reading as a tool for business development and supporting democracy!
Reading as a business investment in the era of AI – this is the slogan of this year's, second edition of the conference Reading for Democracy organized by the Universal Reading Foundation. The conference included 4 discussion panels in two locations, with the participation of an international group of experts, two of which took place during EFNI European Forum for New Ideas.
During the meeting at Goyki 3 Art Inkubator, scientists presented the impact of reading on the brain, business representatives gave examples of using reading to build the development and social capital of companies and a strong image of a socially responsible organization, and activists from non-governmental organizations talked about effective, mutually beneficial partnerships with business.

The future belongs to soft, reading.
Empathy and collaboration as the hard competences of the future in business
In the era of artificial intelligence development, questions about the future of many professions, as well as lists of professions at risk, are increasingly emerging. When looking for a constructive perspective on this topic, one should focus on tasks and features that cannot be replaced. Undoubtedly, these include critical thinking and in-depth analysis.
The most critical will survive.
On the necessity and strategies of practicing critical thinking in the world of AI
Critical thinking training is essential in today's times as a tool for building brain resilience and our information security, and reading is a fundamental factor necessary for practicing critical thinking. This is especially important in times of disinformation and cooperation with AI. Meanwhile, it is still an underestimated and underfunded area that builds social resilience.
