Positive psychology is a relatively new discipline focused on the scientific study of well-being, happiness, and personal resources, to improve the quality of life of individuals and communities. Positive psychology has a strong interdisciplinary approach and can easily be integrated into other disciplinary fields, from education and social sciences to medical sciences. The knowledge and expertise gained within this discipline are increasingly recommended to address the psychosocial needs of individuals, groups and communities.
The Summer School stems from a fruitful international collaboration between the Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna and the University of Pretoria and it aims to train new generations of students and PhD candidates within the discipline of positive psychology.
