COVID-19 seemed to appear from nowhere and has impacted pretty much every aspects of everyday life. Some argue that suffering, failure, setbacks has a transformative power and positive psychology has embraced the process, calling it Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) – or the self-improvement one undergoes after experiencing life challenges.
The panel will debate the opportunities available post COVID-19, to allow our children to grow from the experience and be remembered as the generation who grew from the pandemic, richer, stronger, nicer human beings
Research strongly shows that teaching healthy minds in schools makes a difference to general health and life satisfaction in children, and school plays a huge part in how happy we are as adults.
