On June 23, 2026, Angie Mifsud and Ela Kurtcu delivered a webinar about wellbeing within the framework of the SWEPPP Project. This focused on the project’s key outcomes, including Angie’s secondment, which led to the development of an accredited course on wellbeing and a digital wellbeing resource designed to support learning and professional development.

What you’ll learn:

Developed through Angie’s secondment within the ERA Shuttle project, the session explored a holistic approach to well-being. This approach incorporated not only principles from Positive Psychology but also elements of Lifestyle Medicine, emotional regulation through Emotional Freedom Techniques, and breathwork, offering practical tools to support personal and professional wellbeing.

A significant achievement of this work is that the digital resource has been recognised as a Key Exploitable Result within the WiderAdvance Facility, underlining its potential for long-term impact and wider uptake beyond the project’s lifetime. View the webinar below to learn more.
