Life Education and Well-being in School: Multiple Inquiries and Pathways
Main Stage Presentations
Overview
Life education is a diverse and complicated research domain. Well-being also touches upon interpretations from various perspectives. From a broader perspective, life education could encompass aspects of physical, mental and spiritual well-being (Fisher, 2011; Lee, Yip & Kong, 2021; Lee, 2022). It could also embrace the assistance of other people’s success as well as facilitation of holistic development of others and their pursuit of life meaning. This keynote speech would explore the essence of life education, well-being and related concepts from multiple perspectives. In addition, it would discuss the possibility and approaches to implementation of life education and education for well-being in schools.
