2024: Minding the Brain

Through nerve fibres, memories, associations, and feelings we navigate and live our lives. In recent decades, scientists have gained remarkable insights in unravelling the mysteries of the human brain. Yet, the mind remains vastly unexplored.

On 4 October 2024, teachers from over thirty countries gathered in Stockholm. Throughout the day, Nobel Prize laureates, scientists, psychologists, and educators offered various perspectives on the theme.
