[Heather Gridley]

These seminars are well worth attending - one of the researchers
mentioned is Deb Warr, whose paper on redressing disadvantage appeared
in the most recent edition of the Australian Community Psychologist 
http://www.groups.psychology.org.au/ccom/publications/#vol20-1-08

HAPPINESS, PROGRESS AND WELLBEING: THE VIEW FROM BHUTAN

FREE PUBLIC LECTURE

Friday 12 September, 6pm

Melba Hall, Conservatorium Building, Royal Parade

 

Karma Tshiteem, Secretary of the Gross National Happiness Commission in

measuring national wellbeing. Gross National Happiness (GNH) aims to
measure four key dimensions of progress: sustainable, equitable
socioeconomic development; cultural preservation; environmental
conservation; and good governance. This lecture provides a unique
opportunity to hear about Gross National Happiness and the Bhutanese
approach to un-derstanding and strengthening happiness, prosper-ity and
wellbeing. Karma is an invited speaker at From Margins to Mainstream:
5th World Conference on the Promotion of Mental Health and the
Prevention of Mental and Behavioural Disorders, organised by VicHealth.
