4th International Conference on Life Skills Education:
Optimising positive strengths through life skills
7-9th December, 2012
Mumbai
1. Background of the Conference
The ? eld of human services has a long history of focusing on individual's de? cits, problem behaviours, and pathologies. Within the
last decade researchers and practitioners in the ? elds of education, mental health, psychology, social work, and child welfare have
begun to question the de? cit-based approach and move toward a more holistic model of development. Rather than focusing on
individual weaknesses or de? cits, strength-based practitioners started to collaborate with individuals to discover individual functioning
and strengths. Collaborative exploration of strategies which focus on identifying internal, external, created and natural occurring
resources becomes essential in choosing the interventions for youth. Strength-based approaches can help individuals gain insight
into their innate strengths, increasing resilience and improving their well-being. If we look at the ? ourishing ? eld of life skills education,
it largely focuses on the study and practising a strategy of what is optimum in terms of well-being, strengths and virtues that make
individuals succeed.
The 4th International Conference on Life Skills Education will gather subject experts to present their latest ? ndings and best practices.
All attendees will have the opportunity to discuss and deliberate their research, insights and ideas in thematic sessions, symposia,
panel discussion and also to interact with like-minded people who focus on studying optimising positive strengths through life skills.
Here, the discussion would unfold innovative ideas to further improve the role of Life Skills Education in making these interventions
more effective for the cause of social development.
2. Objectives of the Conference
? To Identify strength based approaches to practise life skills education
? To promote life skills education and its research-based applications
? To facilitate collaboration among researchers, teachers, students, and practitioners of life skills around the world and across
academic disciplines
? To share ? ndings of the conference with the broadest possible audience
Interested scholars may send their abstract on or before 15th July 2012. Intimation of selection of abstract will be sent by 30th July 2012.
