Today anything seems possible for humanity. Progress, and in particular technological progress, has brought us to a society that can truly exist without boundaries between peoples, places, cultures, ideas and economies. Yet, everyday, we witness growing and unprecedented social emergencies, such as climate warnings, poverty, wars, inequality and discrimination. Risks to individual and collective wellbeing are increasing, such as the widening gap in health conditions, pandemics, stress -related diseases and depression. How can we seize the objective opportunities that are right in front of us and at the same time raise the quality of life?

For the Patrizio Paoletti Foundation the challenge is essentially educational. “Every human is an educator” is the key message. It is a concept borrowed from neuroscience and made into a practical and concrete reminder of responsibility for the individual and the entire community: every little action we perform is an example for others and a factor of change for society. That’s why the only possible future is one built by conscious people who bring their best part into play every day, in their personal and professional lives.

Since its inception, the research activities of the Patrizio Paoletti Foundation have been aimed at developing and making educational and didactic tools available for the full development of positive resources and awareness in people, in whatever context they live.

Patrizio Paoletti is the driver of international social projects and educational programs that aim to promote human resilience, awareness, and personal and collective wellbeing. He is a member of numerous scientific commissions and committees and has authored many publications on lifelong learning processes for personal and social development and growth.

He is an internationally recognized meditation teacher and creator of several meditation techniques that have been the subject of psychological and neurophysiological research, including: “OMM The One Minute Meditation”, “Quadratic Motor Training” (QMT) and “OVO Sensory Deprivation Chamber”. Several scientific articles have been published on these techniques.

His research interests focus on the harmonious development of the human being, ranging from the neuroscientific study of consciousness, to the most effective didactic tools to implement Lifelong Learning and Lifewide Education processes.
