Symposium
Student Mental Well-Being and Well-Becoming


Friday, 5 May 2017, 9:00-15:00, at the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada.

Background
This symposium will provide a facilitated forum for discussions of members of the school educational partners in Manitoba (including students). The main topics to be addressed at the symposium with introductions by Canadian researchers are:

  • What special reasons do we have as to why we should be concerned about student mental well-being?
  • What do we mean by “mental well-being”? 
  • How do we assess it and for what purposes?
  • What might school education that foregrounds student mental well-being look like? How would foregrounding student mental well-being transform curriculum and pedagogy?
 
This event continues the engagement started at a conference in November 2015 (see the report on the session on “Mental Health and Well-Being and Well-Becoming in Schools” at http://www.eswbrg.org/conference-2015.html).
