What do we mean by well-being?

Well-being in school context refers to the overall health, happiness, and flourishing of students and teachers in various aspects of their lives.

Social Connections and Relationships

We focus on fostering positive social connections and relationships among students. It emphasizes the importance of building supportive friendships, developing communication skills, fostering empathy and compassion, and promoting inclusivity and belonging.

Mental and Emotional Well-being

This part addresses students' mental and emotional well-being, including their ability to manage stress, cope with challenges, and maintain positive mental health. It includes strategies for promoting emotional resilience, self-awareness, emotional regulation, and seeking help when needed.

Physical Health and Wellness

Strategies may include promoting healthy eating habits, encouraging regular physical activity, educating students about the importance of sleep, and providing resources for managing stress and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Learning is deeply influenced by the personal well-being of each individual. Standardised exams, direct comparison of the student's abilities, and rewards given only to high performers make it difficult for students who fail to conform to expectations. The unintended consequences of solely academic-focused education are student disengagement with learning, high rates of depression, anxiety, attention deficiencies, school violence, self-harm, and many teachers leaving the profession.

For those who recognize the failure of "myopic" education systems, and are willing to make efforts for a more holistic, more supportive, more well-being and resilience-focused education, our Learning Hub offers guidance to understand what teachers can do for their own and the children's well-being, bringing the existing well-being models close to teachers and encouraging innovation in this field.


Our well-being and resilience concept is based on inclusive and holistic principles in education, including positive emotion, engagement, positive relationships, a sense of meaning and accomplishment, physical health, environmental and social responsibility. Join our Learning Hub and make your school a more joyful place!
