Dawson students, support staff and external groups have participated in the peer-to-peer Sustainable Happiness educational experience since Winter 2020. The weekly sessions are developed with a goal of reconnecting people, community, and Nature.
The Sustainability Office and Human Resources will offer 24-hour Sustainable Happiness (SH) Certificates to support staff/professional employees during the Fall 2022 term. These sessions are led by employees who have completed their six-month Facilitator Training Program.
Participants in the certificate are introduced to the concept of sustainable happiness and explore its implications, both personally and professionally. This is an experiential and applied training. Key topics include sustainability, connecting with Nature, positive psychology, well-being, happiness, and healthy/sustainable lifestyles. All participants must complete a project which benefits the well-being of themselves, others and/or the environment to obtain the certificate.
