Abstract:
As Bhutan moves to further develop policies to enhance Gross National Happiness, increasing attention is being devoted to how education might contribute to this important goal. The following paper outlines one possible approach that is based on a future-oriented pedagogy used at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. Developed over many years of experimental teaching, it offers one possible way by which a more integrated, resilient and happy alignment of positive values and contributory action might be facilitated in the classroom.
