Supporting Your Journey Towards a Wellbeing Economy: Consultation on WEAll Policy Design Guidebook

EDAS is joining together with WEAll and Scottish Government to introduce and consult on the WEAll Policy Design Guidebook. Prior to the Guidebook’s publication, it is vital to elicit insights from those with a role or interest in Scotland’s economic development.

We are increasingly hearing the term 'wellbeing economy' in the news and in government, with Scotland being an official member and organiser of the Wellbeing Economy Governments partnership, WEGo.

This session will explore the questions, "What is a wellbeing economy?" and "How do we get there?".

Our panelists will discuss the idea of a wellbeing economy; WEGo and the status of the wellbeing economy movement; and introduce WEAll's Policy Design Guidebook which aims to support your journey towards a wellbeing economy.

As this Guidebook is still in development, the work group discussions will ask for your inputs and ideas as WEAll works towards publishing this important resource.

Please join us to share your views to inform and ultimately support Scotland’s transition to a Wellbeing Economy.
