Happy is a way of life
星空传媒视频 will be hosting the launch event of Sustainable Happiness tonight to raise funds for the world鈥檚 first Sustainable Happiness scholarship and to announce a certificate that will be offered at 星空传媒视频.
Partners 星空传媒视频, CCS Community Services and the Earthvalues Institute will sponsor the pilot certificate course in May to educate a new generation of students in this field of study.
Dr. Catherine O鈥橞rien, an associate professor in the Education Department at Cape Breton University in Nova Scotia, will speak at the event. A pioneer in this field, she defined sustainable happiness as happiness that contributes to individual, community and/global well-being without exploiting other people, the environment or future generations.
She established the world鈥檚 first university course on sustainable happiness, a course she has taught since 2009. O鈥橞rien has found that as her students discover that their happiness and well-being are intertwined with the happiness and well-being of others and the natural environment, they readily choose to shift towards healthier, more sustainable lifestyles.
