Forum Founder Mrs. Hanadi Dagher Nader stated in part of her speech:

“In 2024, when the forum first launched, war was ongoing… In 2025, we were still living through its consequences… And in 2026, war returned once again. Yet despite everything, we swam against the current and succeeded in achieving our goal.

Some people wait for storms to pass before they build, but we chose to build amid the storms, because our mission is stronger than fear, hope is stronger than despair, and life is stronger than death.

My team and I believe that every human being, especially the Lebanese people, deserves to live with balanced mental and physical wellbeing and to enjoy a dignified life filled with hope and stability.”

The forum continues to offer an integrated experience that combines awareness, beauty, wellbeing, and personal development within a specialized interactive space attracting visitors of all ages and interests, carrying a message that Lebanon, despite all challenges, remains a beacon of creativity, life, and hope.
