The 2024 International Conference on Humanities, Arts, Education and Social Development (HAESD 2024) was held to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, propel innovative thinking, and chart new courses for the betterment of society. This gathering brings together scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and visionaries from across the globe to deliberate on the intricate interconnections between the vital domains of humanities, arts, education, and social development.

The conference’s thematic focus is broad, encompassing a spectrum of topics that resonate deeply with the contemporary global agenda. From the exploration of digital humanities and its impact on education to the role of art in social justice movements, from educational innovations aimed at bridging inequality to the intersections of culture and sustainable development goals, each session is designed to spark meaningful debate and inspire actionable insights.

Among the conference program, the keynote addresses are delivered by esteemed leaders in their respective fields. Professor Holger Mathias BRIEL from Beijing Normal University-Hong Kong Baptist University United International College, China, talked about how love and haunting memories appear and play out in front of a changing socioeconomic background on the one hand and an ideological one on the other. Professor Meiqin Li from Southeast University, China, analyzed the specific factors that influence the cultural identities of Hamza and Ilyas by identifying the hybridity and ambivalence states reflected in their experiences and their mimetic behaviors in various cultural activities. These luminaries, with their profound wisdom and forward-thinking perspectives, set the tone for the entire conference by offering thought-provoking reflections on the past, present, and future of humanities, arts, education, and social development. Their speeches not only illuminate the complexities of our current challenges but also illuminate pathways towards resilience and progress.

The international dimension of HAESD 2024 is a testament to the conference’s commitment to fostering global understanding and collaboration. Participants from diverse cultural, linguistic, and academic backgrounds contribute their unique voices, enriching the discourse with a multitude of perspectives. This multifaceted engagement underscores the importance of inclusivity in addressing global challenges and highlights the potential for collective action in driving positive change.

This proceedings is a culmination of the intellectual endeavors and passionate debates that transpired during HAESD 2024. And the publication of the proceedings transcends the boundaries of the conference itself, offering a valuable resource to scholars, educators, policymakers, and practitioners worldwide.
