The School for Wellbeing is an independent action research platform established 20 August 2009 as a follow-up to the Third International Conference on Gross National Happiness (“GNH3”) organized in Thailand two years earlier.
The founding partners were Chulalongkorn University, Faculty of Political Science, the Centre for Bhutan Studies & GNH (CBS), and the Sathirakoses Nagapradipa Foundation (SNF). SNF was established in 1968 by Right Livelihood Award laureate Sulak Sivaraksa and celebrates its 50th anniversary.
From 2014 onwards the School for Wellbeing continued as an independent platform, while Chulalongkorn University (CU) initiated the Wellbeing Studies Programme including four partners: CU, the Royal University of Bhutan (RUB), the Right Livelihood College (RLC) and SNF.
The Wellbeing Studies Programme and School for Wellbeing closely work together.
In 2018 the School for Wellbeing became the ninth campus of the Right Livelihood College. Other Right Livelihood College campuses are based in Germany, Sweden, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Chile, Argentina, USA and India.
On 19-21 July 2019, School for Wellbeing will celebrate its 10th anniversary since its establishment in 2009 with the great occasion of the Earth Trusteeship Forum which will be held during that time.
