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 Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)’s Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences focuses on understanding the neural, cognitive, and behavioral foundations of human cognition and mental health.
The Department of Psychology at Emory University emphasizes the scientific study of behavior, offering undergraduate and graduate programs across various psychology disciplines. Emory University's Department of Psychology conducts wide-ranging research with humans and nonhuman animals, studying cognition, memory, learning, social behavior, and the biological bases of these capacities, as well as the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of psychopathology.
At the University of Exeter, we aim to deliver world-leading psychology research and education, focusing on understanding mind and behavior across the lifespan and species, and positively impacting health and well-being.
