The Network of Wellbeing (NOW) has been running a free ‘Building Wellbeing Together’ webinar series for the past six months. In this webinar we did something a little different.
NOW’s Director Roger Higman shares why we see wellbeing as such an important and radical frame for change, and then we open up into a wider participatory discussion about how we can build an active network to connect and support others who share this understanding. In this post you can find the full video, plus a list of highlights and details on further webinars.
