The Education for Flourishing Conference is sponsored by the Consortium for Human Flourishing at Saint Louis University, the Human Flourishing Program at Harvard University, and the Teacher Education for Flourishing Collaborative at Notre Dame of Maryland University. We bring together individuals and institutions that are working towards flourishing in education. To this end, we will offer a series of presentations and workshops dedicated to the promotion of flourishing in pre-K- 16+ education. Each session will open with a presentation and conclude with breakout sessions to discuss action towards achievable goals around the topic.
The conference will be held in October 2022. Continue to look here for more information!
The conference is aligned with current trends in flourishing and will divided into the following subtopics/ strands: 1) Parents and Families, 2) Curriculum and Instruction, 3) School Practices and Interventions, 4) Education Policy, 5) Teacher Education, 6) Measurement and Evaluation 7) Community and Schooling.
Promoting flourishing in our society will require a paradigm shift on individual, community, and global levels. This year, we look forward to a variety of topics related to integrating flourishing into existing practices and policies.
