= 21 minutes (international conference) = 21 minutes (21min) is an International Conference held annually by Patrizio Paoletti Foundation for Development and Communication under the slogan “The Knowledge of Excellence[AP1] ”. 21min was conceived by Patrizio Paoletti, in 2009 [AP2] as a conference in which renowned speakers share their “inner design technology[AP3] ” through a 21 minute lasting speech. According to the idea of “inner design technology”, speakers from different fields are asked to share their personal inner strategies to perform better and deal effectively with success and failure, in order to enhance self-awareness in themselves and the audience. Paoletti designed 21min based on his paradigm “Ph.A.S.E[AP4]. – Philosophy Art Science Economics”, aiming at promoting an interdisciplinary understanding of the contemporary world and envision a better future. However, philosophy, art, science and economics are conceived in the paradigm not merely as the correspondent academic disciplines, but according to Paoletti’s definitions: philosophy as vision, art as innovation, science as verifying, economics as sustainability[AP5].

Past speakers include the Nobel Prize laureates: Betty Williams, Mairead Corrigan Maguire, David Gross, Woodrow Clark II, Martin Chalfie and from different fields, philosophers and activists: Erin Gruwell, Giulio Giorello, Gilead Sher; artists: Massoud Hassani, Carlo Ratti, Ernö Rubik; neuroscientists: Michael S. Gazzaniga, Giacomo Rizzolatti, Miguel Nicolelis, Moshe Bar; economists: Sanjit Bunker Roy, Fernando Napolitano, Michele Boldrin, Tristram Stuart.[AP6]

Ph.A.S.E.
21 Minutes is organized according to Patrizio Paoletti's PH.A.S.E. paradigm[AP7], every edition is particularly focusing on one of the paradigm’s elements. According to the conference vision, Philosophy, Art, Science and Economics is the path of cerebral, psycho-emotional and intellectual development that the human species has followed since its appearance on earth. Following this paradigm, human development starts from Philosophy not intended here as specific discipline, but the search for a higher knowledge than what we had before. The answer to this philosophical question brings us a new vision and asks us to be part of what we see and to influence what we see, leaving a mark: this is wha tis conceived in the paradigm as art. Art is then intended as techné and allows us to move from this new knowledge that we have acquired towards its sustainable verification, which here represents science. Again, Science in the paradigm doesn’t refer to a discipline, but to the verification of what we have asked of ourselves and what we have discovered about ourselves and others around us. Gregory Bateson’s idea of an “ecology of the mind” is recalled, as the only mean to be actually sustainable, because – in Paoletti’s vision – an ecology of mind would lead us to understand the necessity of concomitant different visions and, consequently, to become aware of the need for peace as a way of coexistence.

The conference
The event is organized with Paoletti as the chairman introducing the speakers and interviewing them on the stage right after their talks. Each talk lasts 21 minutes and may include besides to a speech, also visual presentations and/or artistic performances. Speakers are explicitly asked to share with the audience not their professional accomplishments, but their inner strategies to motivate themselves and deal with frustration, with the aim to provide an informative to the public. In the interview following each speech, Paoletti stimulates the speaker in this regard.

In the first four editions, 21 speakers gave their speeches for three days. The following editions the number of speakers has varied.

2009-2012 The first four editions with 21 speakers
The first four editions of the conference were held with 21 speakers each, including Paoletti as chairman. Each edition focused on one part of the paradigm Ph.A.S.E.

The third edition took place in Assisi at the Lyrick Theatre. The fourth edition took place at the "Teatro del Pavone", in Perugia.

Virtual Coffee
The "Virtual Coffee" is a series of live conversations between Patrizio Paoletti and leading personalities in the fields of Philosophy, Art, Science and Economics. The live sessions are broadcast free of charge on Instagram and aim to reflect and encourage people to reflect on the future that awaits us after the Covid 19 emergency.

Everything starts from the question: how can we prepare ourselves to face the great changes we are experiencing?

According to 21min website, the aim of the "Virtual Coffee" sessions is to share innovative ideas that can give orientation and support to everyone. The final aim is to promote a greater awareness of the infinite inner resources that each of us possesses, the incredible strength that can allow us to transform difficulties into opportunities.
