An interactive talk highlighting the importance of happiness and wellbeing as the driving force towards transforming education to meet the demands of a changing world. What is happiness, why is it so important and how can we incorporate it into our schools and universities? The talk will be tailored specifically to GESS and will address these questions and more, leaving the audience both thoughtful and inspired. Without a doubt, there is a positive association between happier students, parents and staff and increased motivation, effective teaching, academic achievement and an all-round empowering and supportive environment. With the last couple of years seeing a global pandemic and a rise in mental health issues, there isn't a better time to start prioritizing happiness and wellbeing both within our educational systems and beyond!
