Webinar: Using the Capability Approach to Conceptualise Wellbeing

The capability approach is one of the many different frameworks that can be used to conceptualise well-being. This seminar will address the following questions: How does one use the capability approach to conceptualise wellbeing? What are the advantages and disadvantages of using the capability approach to conceptualise well-being? For which purposes is this an appropriate framework, and in which contexts should one consider using another framework? What are the consequences for the deeply inter- and multidisciplinary nature of the capability approach to its conceptualisation of wellbeing? And finally, what are some points of attention to keep in mind if one wants to use this framework not just for conceptualising well-being, but also for empirical research and policy making?

ECEB Mentoring – – Journey towards the 2020 Mentoring Summit: Exclusive inteview with the event organizers.

We’ve had to rethink the way a summit works, how to make it engaging even if it is not in person”.

European Center for Evidence Based Mentoring had an exclusive interview with our friends at the Coordinadora Mentoria Social,
Marta Lopez Cornellas and Carina Garcia Mesegué who have been working relentlessly to bring you the online Mentoring Summit. The journey to move the European Mentoring Summit online has been a “really long and exciting process” says Carina. It was quite unexpected and sudden when the event got postponed in March. It feels like a lifetime has passed since this epidemic started and we have all had to make this switch to remote working. It really felt like a lot of time has passed since they have had to organize an in-person event. Indeed, there were several challenges as “we did not have the skills to prepare an online summit”. But they have worked hard and learned a great deal along this journey. Læs videre “ECEB Mentoring – – Journey towards the 2020 Mentoring Summit: Exclusive inteview with the event organizers.”
