Wellbeing is the term currently used to describe feelings and functioning of both the individual and society. Positive emotions such as contentment and happiness are often used when discussing wellbeing. It is, nonetheless, a much broader concept, particularly when considering the amount of control a person has over elements of their life and lifestyle, a sense of purpose, and the development of positive relationships. With increasing pressures felt by members of many societies, wellbeing and life satisfaction has become an important consideration in policies of many countries. Wellbeing for Inclusive Schools and an Inclusive Society explores wellbeing from a variety of international and philosophical contexts. This book brings together experts in wellbeing from a variety of perspectives including historical, philosophical, medical, and social, marginalised persons, technology, and teachers. Each author brings a unique viewpoint on wellbeing, why it needs to be considered and how it can be addressed within a particular inclusive context at societal and school levels. The final chapter argues for the necessary actions for promoting wellbeing to develop harmonious and inclusive schools and society in an increasingly diverse and challenging global world. Wellbeing for Inclusive Schools and an Inclusive Society is essential reading for all those involved in wellbeing and educational fields.
