On September 15, 2025, the Central Asian Research Centre for Educational Innovation and Transformation (CARCEIT) hosted a seminar titled “The Future of Well-being Education: Exploring the Role of Technology and AI Potential in Schools.” This seminar was conducted as part of the ICEP project “Nurturing Young Minds: Exploring the Role of Positive Early Childhood Education and Care in the Health and Well-being of Young Children in Kazakhstan,” led by Prof. Daniel Hernández-Torrano (NUGSE).
Delivered by Prof. Dianne Vella-Brodrick, Gerry Higgins Chair of Positive Psychology and Director of the Centre for Wellbeing Science, Faculty of Education, University of Melbourne, the seminar brought together faculty, researchers, and students to explore the intersection of technology and well-being education in schools. The session highlighted innovative approaches to personalizing well-being initiatives for students while also considering ways to streamline implementation for educators. Participants engaged in a forward-looking discussion on the promise and limitations of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing student well-being, reflecting on how emerging technologies can be meaningfully integrated into educational practice. This event contributed to CARCEIT’s ongoing efforts to build capacity in evidence-based approaches to education, equipping stakeholders with knowledge on how digital tools and AI may shape the future of well-being education in Kazakhstan and beyond.
