Established by Bei Shan Tang Foundation in 2014, Positive Education Hong Kong is a platform aiming to co-learn and collaborate with Hong Kong’s educators to 'Learn-Live-Teach-and-Embed' positive-psychology-infused education best practices in schools and to build a flourishing community ecosystem.
Our programmes are designed to equip teachers and the education sector with scientific knowledge and practical wisdom of Positive Education, provide related resources, share contextualized case studies showcasing local schools' best practices, foster connections between schools for professional exchange, and to enable more sustainable development of Positive Education in Hong Kong. Having its roots in the science of Positive Psychology, Positive Education contributes to the well-being of all members of the school community, as well as the overall learning and teaching effectiveness. We believe schools are the most valuable setting to help equip students with skills and knowledge to understand and apply Character Strengths, to enhance one’s Positive Emotion, Engagement, as well as to live a life with Relationship, Meaning, Accomplishment and Health (PERMA+H), by which they can make contributions positively to their families, schools, and communities.
The Department of Psychology at Tufts University conducts cutting-edge research aimed at understanding the causes and consequences of mental processes and behavior. Our work addresses social, cognitive, and neural levels of analysis. We are innovative and interdisciplinary in our approach and emphasize understanding phenomena that have a direct impact on society. Scientists at all levels - faculty, postdoctoral trainees, and graduate and undergraduate students - engage in collaborative scholarship and critical thinking in the classroom and in the laboratory. This synthesis, between research and teaching, positions us to ask and answer fundamental questions while also enriching our students' understanding of psychology.
