This year the conference focuses on examining how professions, practitioners, communities and individuals are reacting to the well-being agenda. Well-being 2013 will be asking a range of key questions - can we actually design for well-being, how do we experience personal well-being, how do existing approaches inform the overall agenda and is it possible to embed well-being as an overarching aim?
Well-being 2013 aims to bring a diverse group of delegates together to debate and discuss current understanding, new ideas, novel practice and underpinning theories. Designs on well-being explores the notion that we all have experiences and responsibilities that impact on the well-being agenda; how we design goods, services and environments will influence personal well-being. Well-being 2013 will explore the need to be ‘self-aware’, learning from the approaches of other disciplines, assessing the underpinning well-being parameters, outcomes and impacts of a wide range of interventions.
New to 2013 and unique to the well-being debate is the inclusion of a series of sessions designed to encourage exploration and reflection on ‘self and personal well-being’ through direct experience, with opportunity to feed back to the wider conference community.
