• In Event: Education for Human Flourishing: Perspectives Across Cultures and Disciplines

Abstract

This presentation highlights the need to re-think the aims of education and envision human flourishing from the perspective of human intentionality and purposefulness, values-driven education, virtues anchoring and social emotional well-being and learning. Sharing from the experience of the Singapore Centre for Character and Citizenship Education (SCCCE), the presentation will also discuss a pragmatic meta-framework for flourishing education.
