Meglepő vállalkozásba fogott három tudós nő a CEU Bibó István Szabadegyetemén: A boldogság politikája címmel olyan kurzust indított, amelynek keretében a boldogság összetevőit járják körül, arra buzdítva a hallgatóságukat (amelynek soraiba bárki jelentkezhetett), hogy a saját életüket, hozzáállásukat vizsgálják felül. Pető Andrea történész, az MTA doktora és a CEU professzora, Tompa Andrea író, színikritikus és Bakos Petra, a CEU doktorjelöltje, jógaoktató olyan témákról beszélgetett az KULT KERESÉS WMN HÍRLEVÉL 12/21/2019 "Az életünkben tulajdonképpen semmi más nem számít, csak az érzelem" -Mit nyújt A boldogság politikája? -WMN https://wmn.hu/kult/51951-az-eletunkben-tulajdonkeppen-semmi-mas-nem-szamit-csak-az-erzelem--mit-nyujt-a-boldogsag-politikaja?fbclid=IwAR3K… 2/16 első félévben meghívott vendégeikkel, mint a szerelem, a test, a család, a gyűlölet, a gyász vagy a közösség, áprilistól pedig a pénzről, a természetről, az alkotásról, a barátságról, a hatalomról és az utazásról beszélgetnek majd. Mi pedig arról faggattuk őket, mekkora hatása lehet egy tudományos szemináriumsorozatnak a közösség jóllétére -és persze a CEU-t ért támadásokról is szó esett. Gyárfás Dorka interjúja.

In the UK, almost 6 million people are unpaid informal carers for an ill, frail or disabled family member or friend who couldn’t manage to live independently or whose health or wellbeing would deteriorate without their help. This saves the UK government over £119 billion a year. In England, around 3 million households contain an unpaid informal carer, which represents huge social care and National Health Service (NHS) cost savings [1]. Although the role and experience of informal carers is unique to their situation, and caring can be rich source of satisfaction, it is also known that their health suffers and that they have an increased rate of physical health problems, thus it is very important that we identify informal carers so that we can provide much needed help and support.
This paper reports on a series of disruptive design workshops, where the emphasis is for informal carers to have fun, relax, and to do things in ways that they wouldn’t normally do them. Each workshop involves creative activities such as drawing from memory, sketching everyday observations, 2D/3D modeling, and problem-solving challenges. The goals of the disruptive design workshops are to introduce the carers to new methods of seeing and doing their day-to-day tasks, to establish trust, decrease anxiety, to promote imagination, and risk-free “failure”. Moreover, the workshops aim to encourage, support and positively reinforce informal carers in respect of engagement and/or re-engagement with their creative capacities and depart from their pre-conceptions and orthodoxies about how things are and/or should be to how things might be.
The paper will present the initial results from a series of disruptive design workshops held within the studios of the School of Design, Northumbria University wherein the disruptive design work has had great success in breaking the cycle of well-formed opinions, strategies, mindsets, and ways-of-doing, that tend to remain unchallenged by the informal carers in their lives thus far.

Efforts recently attempted to integrate various aspects of economic progress, environmental sustainability and social welfare into an aggregate measure of well-being share one major weakness concerning the identification of key aspects of well-being and of weights to aggregate these dimensions, they all suffer from lack of legitimacy. In this paper we present an innovative and well tested approach that attempts to overcome such limitation granting legitimacy through a broad consultation of civil society organisations. After a brief review of the state of the art, we present the methodology followed to build the QUARS (Index of Regional Quality of Development) and we point out strengths and weaknesses of our approach. We summarize the results according to the selected variables for Italian regions, we present the outcomes of our dissemination work and assess the robustness of the composite indicator.
