The Urban Big Data Centre in partnership with the CR&DALL seminar series, are pleased to announce
a free half-day conference on Tuesday, 3rd November from 1300-1700:

Wellbeing and learning for a better life: Reflecting

across cultures and contexts
The keynote talk will be given by Prof. Anna Robinson-Pant, University of East Anglia, alongside talks by
Dr. Catherine Lido (UBDC's integrated Multimedia City Data project) and Prof. Tess Kay, Brunel
University, presenting the work of the What Works Centre for Wellbeing. Full agenda and details are
available on the Eventbrite Registration Page.
The conference is aimed at academics and practitioners alike (e.g. teachers of adults and health
practitioners), and others with a particular interest in wellbeing and learning research (internationally
and across urban and rural contexts). This conference might particularly interest those involved with
adult learners and work-based learning, as well as those interested in novel approaches to examining
lifelong learning implications for happy, healthy, employed and engaged learner-citizens.
Places are limited and registration is required via Eventbrite.
