From Help to Hope: The Power of Community with Farkhunda Muhtaj
On January 21, 2026, we had the opportunity to hear Farkhunda Muhtaj's inspiring story.
Social advocacy goes beyond borders and allows communities to grow together through global active citizenship, leadership, and adopting a growth mindset. This event featured a screening of the “We Are Ayenda” documentary and a fireside chat with Muhtaj, a prominent voice in sport, social advocacy, women and refugee rights, growth mindset and more.

Leisure and Mental Health
Rewatch Dr. Shintaro Kono's insightful keynote on leisure and mental health.
We all hear about “work-life balance.” It’s something many say we should strive towards to live a happy life, but there are few evidence-based tips about “how” to really achieve it. In this insightful talk, Dr. Shintaro Kono will approach the topic of “work-life balance” and leisure as an experience from the perspective of a leisure scholar for the UCalgary community of students, staff and faculty.
