Bhutan’s Mindfulness City: A Bold Vision to Bring Youth Back Home
In a groundbreaking initiative, Bhutan is set to launch a new city focused on mindfulness and well-being, aiming to create job opportunities and entice the younger generation to return home. Over the past few years, approximately 9% of Bhutan’s population has left the country, seeking better prospects abroad. This trend poses a challenge for a nation that prioritizes happiness and sustainable development.
The visionary plan, spearheaded by the King of Bhutan, reflects the country’s unique approach to balancing economic growth with cultural values. By establishing a hub that promotes well-being, the initiative not only targets employment but also seeks to rejuvenate the fabric of Bhutanese society, fostering a sense of community and purpose among young people.
In the upcoming segment, “60 Minutes” delves into this ambitious project, exploring its potential to revitalize Bhutan’s economy while enhancing its distinctive identity. Launched in 1968, “60 Minutes” continues to captivate audiences with its investigative reporting and human-interest stories, making it a staple in American television for over 50 seasons.
Join us as we uncover Bhutan’s innovative approach to blending modernity with tradition, and witness how one small kingdom is endeavoring to reclaim its youth and redefine the future.
