Well-being in Education: How and Why?

As part of Brain Awareness Week.

The concepts of quality of life, well-being, and happiness are appearing with increasing frequency among the factors that guide citizens’ analyses and choices in many areas. In the field of education, these concepts are closely related and reflect the same need: that of personal fulfillment and self-actualization.

Today, well-being plays an important role not only in the discussions among parents and students themselves, but also in academic initiatives and the goals of innovative practices adopted by schools and teachers.

To discuss this science and society topic, four experts from various disciplines will answer questions from the audience live:
