THE MOST EAGERLY AWAITED EVENT ON IDEAS FOR THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY RETURNS
At 21 Minutes, Patrizio Paoletti and international speakers share new visions to address current challenges and create a sustainable future.
Participate and join the community of people who want to make a difference
As featured in
From an idea of Patrizio Paoletti, 21 Minutes is the international conference dedicated to all those who want to change the world.
It is an open 'Think Tank' with internationally renowned speakers for anyone who wants to explore key issues affecting our future: climate change, education, peace.
In school we have lessons about history, but not about the future.
How do we want the world to be 10 years from now?
World-renowned scientists, philosophers, creatives, economists and innovators will discuss current and future challenges and how to use the most important resource we have on our planet: ourselves, human beings.
To play an active and innovative role today in creating our tomorrow means rethinking and improving ourselves in order to transform social, economic and environmental challenges into opportunities.
“
21 minutes is a Human Inner Design project, through which we disseminate ideas, techniques, strategies and tools that enable us to rethink ourselves, to re-read our lives from other points of view and to change our future
”
Patrizio Paoletti
At 21 Minutes you will hear new visions and ideas from speakers from all over the world and become part of that core group of people who are determined to create a truly sustainable future for humanity.

TODAY’S CHALLENGES
The effects of climate change, wars and economic and social imbalance can no longer be ignored. The world we live in is increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous and virtual, and the consequences for our well-being are staggering. A great deal of research shows that negative emotions are on the rise: boredom, demotivation, loneliness, anxiety, fear and anger.
The pandemic increased demands for problems of anxiety (+83%), depression (+72%), as well as disorders in adolescents (+62%) and children (+27%).
If we do not want to base our lives on these emotions, what do we need to create a sustainable future?
Great challenges can be an opportunity if we invest in the most renewable resource there is: ourselves and our inner world.
Indeed, the external conditions in which we live are a reflection of our inner world. As Gregory Bateson says, we need an 'ecology of the mind’.
To achieve a sustainable future and humanity of peace requires us to pass through a process of re-skilling, which involves a new inner design. It requires the creation of a new state of awareness within us.
Patrizio Paoletti and the international speakers of 21 Minutes will focus on the inner processes and potential that each of us can develop to become an agent of change, for our own lives and for the greater good.
THE FOCUS OF THIS EDITION
We will discover our possible future - build today the tomorrow we want - prepare for an evolutionary leap - learn to see opportunities - acquire vision and tools for a sustainable future.

Creator of 21 Minutes - Patrizio Paoletti
Patrizio Paoletti, creator of 21 Minutes
Visionary, bestselling author, man of peace, mentor and influencer, he has dedicated his life to creating methods and practical tools for self-knowledge.
He advocates the value of awareness as a key to overcoming the current global crises. He has developed pedagogical models, methods and scientifically validated techniques for raising self-awareness in human beings, disseminated through the International School of Self Awareness of which he is founder. In his vision, sustainable development can only be achieved by becoming aware of one's inner processes and acquiring the ability to shape them. Hence the concept of Human Inner Design.
The validity of his methods is also confirmed by the neuroscientific research of his Foundation (Fondazione Patrizio Paoletti) in collaboration with international scientists, institutes and universities such as Bar Ilan University in Tel Aviv, La Sapienza University in Rome and the CNR.
His research interests focus on the improvement of human beings, ranging from neuroscientific investigation of consciousness to innovative didactic tools to create processes of Lifelong Learning and Lifewide Education.

F.A.S.E.
The 21 Minutes Approach
From the F.A.S.E. ® paradigm created by Patrizio Paoletti
The 21 Minutes speeches follow the F.A.S.E. paradigm to approach the key themes from every angle of our knowledge process
PHILOSOPHY
VISION
Any idea that is truly capable of changing the world is always based on a new vision that activates and orients us. The questions of philosophical knowledge offer us the possibility to transform uncertainty into envisioning, into a living image of what we really want.
ART
INNOVATION
To change our world, we must learn to share knowledge and direct technological development. Art is the discipline that first helps us express vision and connect knowledge in new ways to generate innovation.
SCIENCE
DISCOVERY
Science is discovery, but it is also verification. For change to be grounded, it must be based on knowledge that is verified both internally and externally.
ECONOMICS
SUSTAINABILITY
At the end of the creative process, when we are ready to turn intuition into action, we must measure its sustainability. No action can be considered economic if it does not benefit ourselves, others and the planet.
Registration is now closed!

ORGANIZED AND PROMOTED BY
21 Minutes is a project created by Patrizio Paoletti, founder of the Patrizio Paoletti Foundation, a non-profit research organisation that has been dedicated to the study of human functioning for 20 years. Through interdisciplinary research, the results of which are applied in education and teaching, the organisation promotes the best talents in children and adults. The Foundation, through its Research Institute for Neuroscience, Education and Didactics (RINED), promotes people's health, resilience and wellbeing and disseminates practical, immediate, innovative and effective tools that support people in learning how to know how to do, how to live in order to 'be' in a constantly changing world. Through its educational projects, the Foundation works to ensure that all individuals become more aware of their own resources, role and responsibility towards others and the planet in order to express their full potential.
