Fostering health and wellbeing in the classroom

Abstract

This book examines innovative methodologies and educational strategies aimed at fostering health and wellbeing in the classroom across different educational levels. Throughout seven chapters, the authors present interdisciplinary approaches that integrate emotional education, values-based learning, art, dance, role-playing, and virtual environments as tools for the holistic development of students. The contributions address key aspects such as emotional intelligence, cognitive and emotional learning, academic performance, and preparation for the professional and social challenges of the 21st century. Drawing on empirical studies, case analyses, and applied educational projects, the book highlights the importance of creating emotionally healthy learning environments that promote personal growth, social responsibility, and mental health. The combination of theoretical perspectives and practical experiences makes this book a valuable resource for teachers, researchers, and education professionals committed to student wellbeing and pedagogical innovation.
