Event description:
Education systems perform specific functions for their communities and the social and cultural
contexts in which they operate. They gather together a number of diverse actors who are part
of the system or are involved in different ways: students, teachers, non-teaching staff, but also
families, territorial services, communities and institutions.
Well-being is meant to include both a eudemonic and a hedonistic perspective, as the pursuit
of a positive psychological state, and the expression of human virtues and the realisation
of individual and social potential. In addition, well-being is seen as the result of a dynamic
process of constant interaction between individual factors and environmental, cultural and
social factors, as well as a desirable condition for groups, organisations, communities and
society.

Education systems perform specific functions for their communities and the social and cultural
contexts in which they operate. They gather together a number of diverse actors who are part
of the system or are involved in different ways: students, teachers, non-teaching staff, but also
families, territorial services, communities and institutions.
Well-being is meant to include both a eudemonic and a hedonistic perspective, as the pursuit
of a positive psychological state, and the expression of human virtues and the realisation
of individual and social potential. In addition, well-being is seen as the result of a dynamic
process of constant interaction between individual factors and environmental, cultural and
social factors, as well as a desirable condition for groups, organisations, communities and
society.
The International conference on well-being in education systems draws on the theoretical framework
of positive psychology to investigate the role of individual-context interactions in
the individual development and along the life cycle, the mutual adaptation of individuals to
organisational contexts and vice versa and the adaptation of organisations and education
systems to social and cultural macro systems.
The main goal of the conference is to help build a community of thought on the subject of
well-being in education systems where views and contributions are developed and shared
over time. It also aims to expand and consolidate relationships between the different actors
at national and international level, while creating the opportunity for academics and practitioners
to meet and exchange ideas and experiences.
Hopefully, that would promote a positive culture for the study of social contexts – including
education systems – in the belief that this is a real opportunity for improving life, educational
and work contexts of individuals.
The International conference on well-being in education systems wishes to offer a setting where
academics and practitioners can share their thoughts, practices and results on topics such as:
• Monitoring well-being in school communities;
• Prevention policies and activities;
• Methodological approaches and instruments for measuring well-being;
• The well-being of students, teachers and school personnel;
• School climate and well-being;
• Physical school environment and well-being;
• Well-being and transitions through education systems and beyond;
• Experiences and practices in promoting well-being at school.
Proposals are welcome from all fields of research, especially education, positive psychology
and well-being.
In order to encourage exchanges between scientific research and practical experiences and
their integration, calls have been organised both for academic research contributions (Call
for Papers) and contributions on experiences and practices for the well-being in education
systems (Call for Experiences).
The conference topics will be introduced by four keynote speakers:
• Emanuele Berger
Director of the School Division and Coordinator of the Department of education
culture and sport of the Canton of Ticino
• Fabian Gander
Post-Doc researcher, Psychologisches Institut - Persönlichkeitspsychologie und
Diagnostik, Universität Zürich
• Laura Nota
Associate Professor of developmental and educational psychology,
Department of philosophy, pedagogy and applied psychology (FISPPA),
Università degli studi di Padova
• Michel Janosz (TBC)
Full Professor and Dean of the School of Psychoeducation and of the Research group
on education environments, Université de Montréal, Canada
The official conference languages are English and Italian; simultaneous interpreting in both
languages will be provided for plenary sessions.
