Happy Schools!: A Framework for Learner Well-being in the Asia-Pacific

The Happy Schools Project was launched in June 2014 in the aim of promoting learner well-being and holistic development. It follows on the findings of UNESCO Bangkok’s research on ‘Learning to Live Together’, which examined the ways in which education systems can promote peace through education in the Asia-Pacific region. While the concept of ‘Learning to Live Together’ is often reflected at policy level, there is little evidence as to how it is implemented in practice. Therefore, the Happy Schools Project aims to identify and recognize proven practices at school level that integrate this concept.
