The School for Wellbeing is the result of long standing cooperation between three founding partners as well as exchanges among a growing network of organizations involved in the promotion of wellbeing-driven public policy development. The three founding partners of the SfW are:

• the Faculty of Political Science of Chulalongkorn University, Thailand
• the Centre for Bhutan Studies, Bhutan
• the Sathirakoses Nagapradipa Foundation, Thailand

The ‘School for Wellbeing’ is an independent think-tank shaped by an international network of dedicated academics from diverse disciplines, practitioners and policy makers, primarily inspired by the concept of Gross National Happiness (GNH). Based in Bangkok, it was create in 2009 as a follow-up of the 3^rd international GNH conference held in Thailand in 2007.

School for Wellbeing focuses on empowering people who are engaged in a much needed shift towards wellbeing-driven public policy development. By common effort it also offers a creative learning space for a diversity of stakeholders inducing cross-cultural studies in happiness, wellbeing and quality of life.  The School for Wellbeing nurtures an evidence-based research-platform guided by ‘critical holism’ in order to explore alternative development paradigms. Thus, it enables (young) researchers to undertake related action-research initiatives.
