GEA IS PRESENTING
AT THE Gross Global Happiness Summit

We are thrilled to announce that Global Education Allies (GEA) will be presenting at the 2025 UPEACE Gross Global Happiness conference. As a champion of creating joyful, inclusive, and sustainable educational environments, GEA will share insights from our transformative global programs with educators and leaders from around the world.

At the conference, GEA will discuss our work in bringing happiness-focused educational practices into classrooms across the globe, from Finland and Uganda to Cambodia and beyond. By fostering cross-cultural collaboration and immersive learning experiences, we empower educators to cultivate well-being and positive environments in their own schools and communities.

Join us in 2025 as we explore how happiness and education intersect to create thriving communities, aligned with the core goals of the UPEACE Gross Global Happiness initiative.

GEA happiness framework

GEA is on a journey to discover what makes spaces of learning happy around the world. On each of our curated experiences, we have been bringing this to you all along: the joy of movement in the schools of Uganda, the empowerment and ownership of students in Finland, the efforts to build community and space where many belong in Cambodia and New Zealand, and the peace that interacting with our natural world brings us in Puerto Rico and the Southwest. Our programs are designed to help you discover what makes these particular classrooms and communities thrive and what we can take home with us to build a more meaningful and happy life for ourselves.
