Cape Town is a city shaped by resilience, diversity, and a deep cultural heritage—making it the perfect place to explore how compassion can drive systemic change.
From its history of social movements to its vibrant arts and activism scene, Cape Town provides an inspiring backdrop for coming together, sharing ideas, and building a more compassionate future.
WHY A FESTIVAL OF COMPASSION?
In a world of growing disconnection, the Festival of Compassion is a call to rehumanize—putting care, connection, and compassion at the heart of our societies. By bringing together activists, leaders, and communities, we create a space where hope turns into action.

urgent.
