Reimagining Education. Luis Gallardo and TS Powdyel

Set against the serene backdrop of Bhutan, the “Paro 2024 International Symposium: Reimagining Education from a GNH Perspective” marks a defining moment in the global educational landscape. The World Happiness Foundation, in collaboration with a consortium of prestigious institutions, is proud to host this symposium from June 1-6, 2024, at the Paro College of Education.

Symposium’s Core Objective

This international gathering aims to redefine the educational paradigm, drawing inspiration from Bhutan’s pioneering Gross National Happiness (GNH) framework. GNH advocates for a balanced approach that harmonizes materialistic progress with sustainable and equitable human development, focusing on holistic well-being.

Addressing the Need for Educational Transformation

Despite the innovative strides of Bhutan’s “Educating for GNH” initiative, challenges in implementation have highlighted the need for a renewed academic dialogue. This symposium serves as a catalyst to reinvigorate and expand the GNH-based education framework, integrating it more profoundly into global educational practices.
