The University of Los Andes in Bogotá, Colombia, is hosting a two-day workshop organized by the Templeton World Charity Foundation, which will take place on November 29 -30, 2022. This event aims to showcase new research and innovations in character development from across the region. Specifically, during this workshop, Latin American researchers will discuss and reflect on the importance of character development for achieving human flourishing in the region by linking character development to health, educational and social outcomes. This event will represent a valuable opportunity for knowledge exchange, community building, and networking among researchers, professionals, and other stakeholders interested in character development to identify priorities for further research, intervention, and promotion of character and human flourishing in the region.
As part of this Workshop, plenary sessions of the Global Scientific Conference on Human Flourishing will be live-streamed each day. Participants will be able to listen to expert researchers from different disciplines presenting scientific discoveries and innovations in human flourishing.
