The Solomon Islands National University (SINU), in collaboration with the Pasifika Communities University (PCU), is pleased to announce it will host a landmark Symposium Side Event during the Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting.
The event is scheduled for Thursday, 11th September 2025, from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM at the Aquatic Centre, Sport City Complex, Honiara.
Held under the theme โNetweaving the Soul of Pacific Development,โ the symposium will invite Pacific thinkers, leaders, and citizens to reflect on a profound and timely question:
โWhere is our Pacific development soul?โ
This question speaks to the regionโs collective development journey over the past 60 years, and the search for deeper meaning and purpose in shaping the Pacificโs future.
The high-level gathering will feature keynote addresses and discussions by distinguished leaders and experts from across the Pacific, alongside women and youth representatives offering grassroots and intergenerational perspectives. The final line-up of panellists will be released in due course.
This symposium is not just a discussion. It is a call to awaken our collective Pacific consciousness โ to remember, reclaim, and reweave the deeper purpose of our development journey, with Pasifika philosophy and ethics-based leadership at its core.
A special invitation is extended to students, academics, policymakers, civil society, church leaders, development partners, and all members of the public who care about the Pacificโs future.
The event will feature:
- Intergenerational and intersectoral dialogue
- Cultural reflection and performances
- Practical insights on how Pacific values can guide future development strategies
