Harmony and Education

In his book, ‘Harmony, A New Way of Looking at Our World’, King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) shares his insights about the timeless laws and principles which permeate everything around and within us, an understanding of which can enable us to make better sense of the world in which we find ourselves. He also suggests that we will be best placed to address the climatic, ecological and public health challenges of our time, if our actions are informed by a deep understanding of these principles.

Through its grant-making activities, the SFA supported the Harmony Conference held in Llandovery (Wales), in which keynote speakers explored the ways in which principles of Harmony manifest in food, agriculture and other spheres, including the environment, education, health and music. A range of parallel sessions followed, in which speakers shared their insights about principles of Harmony in food and farming and other related fields.

Further information concerning the Harmony Conference, including session reviews, blogs and film clips, can be found here. A follow-on event will take place in September 2026 at Dumfries House, Scotland. This conference will enable continued discussion of the Harmony principles and how they can be applied in light of present-day challenges.
