The Future of Flourishing in Education with Professor Martin Seligman

Welcome to Flourishing in Education, the official podcast of the International Positive Education Network (IPEN). This podcast brings together leading global voices to explore the science and practice of positive education, supporting educators, leaders, and communities in advancing wellbeing and human flourishing across educational contexts.

In this powerful conversation, host and IPEN Chair, Dr. Anne Johnstone explores a bold reimagining of education and opportunities in wellbeing with IPEN Co-Founder, Professor Martin Seligman. Moving beyond achievement and intelligence as the primary goal, he invites us to consider a future of education where empathy, character, relationships, and wellbeing have a more significant focus. From the science of PERMA to the emerging opportunities to harness AI to support human agency, this episode offers both a philosophical lens and practical insights for educators, leaders, and changemakers committed to building flourishing schools and systems.

Listen below to explore how education might evolve to meet the challenges – and possibilities – of our time.
