The 2025 World Changers Summit

The 2025 World Changers Summit @wcsiasc took place at the Pontifical Academy of Sciences in Vatican City. Global leaders, scientists, and visionaries came together to explore humanity's shared future under the theme "Transcendence: Unveiling the Future of Humanity."

▲ Pastor Dr. Mark Burns, spiritual advisor to U.S. President Donald Trump and founder of the Spiritual Diplomacy global initiative, and Maryna Ovtsynova, president of the ALLATRA International Public Movement, participated in this landmark gathering. The event, organized by the Institute for Advanced Studies and Cooperation (IASC) and supported by the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, served as a bridge between technology, ethics, and spirituality.

The opening address was delivered by Pastor Dr. Mark Burns, who spoke from the heart about the importance of moral courage and shared responsibility in shaping a peaceful and just world. In the symbolic halls of the Vatican, he emphasized that true leadership begins with faith-driven integrity and a commitment to the common good.

Maryna Ovtsynova, together with ALLATRA participants, was deeply honoured to be received by His Eminence Cardinal Peter Turkson, Chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences and a leading voice for ethical and ecological responsibility. Their meeting reflected a shared concern for the planet's future, highlighting the urgent need to address global ecological challenges, including the spread of nanoplastics. The conversation echoed the principles of Laudato Si', calling humanity toward spiritual awakening and environmental stewardship.

The World Changers Summit was founded by Professor Dr. Gabriele Pao-Pei Andreoli, @gppandreoli president of the Institute for Advanced Studies and Cooperation, whose vision of connecting innovation with conscience continues to inspire global dialogue. This year's summit reaffirmed that the future of humanity depends not only on what we can create, but on who we choose to become.

ALLATRA expresses deep gratitude to Professor Andreoli and the entire organizing team for fostering a space where intellect, purpose, and collaboration unite in service to humanity.
