The Grameen Creative Lab just returned from a trip to Zagreb where it accompanied Prof. Yunus to a conference with the title "Growing through Knowledge", organized by T-Hrvatski Telekom (T-HT, Croatian Telecom).
During his inspiring lecture, Professor Muhammad Yunus talked about fulfillment of human potentials, mutual influence of people on each other, and struggle against poverty through social business. "Knowledge we have learned at this conference is the way in which we can change individuals, companies, and societies," concluded Ivica Mudrinic, President of the Management Board of T-Hrvatski Telekom, at the end of the conference.
The conference was attended by about 800 guests from the business, political, and intellectual life of Croatia, the best students from faculties, which T-HT had been successfully cooperating with for a number of years, and management and employees of T-HT.
The T-HT conference under the slogan "Growing through Knowledge" was organized for the second year in a row. Emphasis is placed on the importance of knowledge for individual and social growth. The conference invites respectable and inspiring experts and speakers, who in a recognizable manner contribute to and help humankind through their ideas, acts, projects, and knowledge at a local and global level and inspire to thinking or action.
