CIDEC Seminar and Film Screening: Moolam by Sangita Iyer

Join us for a screening of Moolam: Ancient Wisdom, Modern Minds, a new documentary by writer and director Sangita Iyer, followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker. Bringing together educators, mental health experts, authors, engineers, parents, and founders of contemporary Gurukulas in India and the United States, the film explores growing concerns about education and mental well-being through the lens of Indian Knowledge Systems.

Moolam considers how longstanding traditions of learning, self-awareness, and holistic living might speak to contemporary challenges of stress, disconnection, and purpose, inviting audiences to reconsider what it means to be educated and to flourish in the modern world.

In-person location: OISE Peace Lounge, 7th floor.
