INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM IN BHUTAN : REIMAGINING EDUCATION FROM A GROSS NATIONAL HAPPINESS (GNH) PERSPECTIVE

June 1- 6, 2024 | Paro, Bhutan

The first international symposium on "Happy Schools" in Vietnam : "Can happiness skills be learned?”.

April 2023 | Hué, Vietnam


“What we want to see is nothing less than transformative — graduates who are genuine human beings, realizing their full and true potential, caring for others—including other species—, ecologically literate, contemplative as well as analytical in their understanding of the world, free of greed and without excessive desires; knowing, understanding, and appreciating completely that they are not separate from the natural world and from others; — in sum manifesting their humanity fully... In the end, a GNH-educated graduate will have no doubt that his or her happiness derives only from contributing to the happiness of others.”

Jigme Y. Thinley, 2009 Prime Minister of Bhutan
