while developing, challenging and creating themselves
for the future in relation to self, others and the
environment.

5. I. Learning for Well-being
Goals
Children and youth are more and more engaged, their voices are
increasingly heard, and they are participating actively in shaping policy
impacting their learning environments.
Through acquiring values, attitudes and practices, more and more children
and young people are willing and able to make sound choices that support
their well-being through their life journey.
More and more children become aware of the unique and distinct ways in
how they learn, and develop (and adults listen to, encourage, and facilitate
ways to implement this awareness).

6. I. Learning for Well-being
Goals
More and more educators, parents, media and ICT, health and social care
professionals understand the connection between well-being and learning,
and contribute to making all environments more conducive to learning for
well-being.
More and more youth organizations, governments and stakeholders from
multiple sectors partner with us in producing services and products to
sustain our collective endeavour and integrate in their work our learning
for well-being approach.
