Public Webinar: An Economy of Wellbeing for Inclusion

On 18 October 2024, EPR, in collaboration with EuroHealthNet, organised the public webinar “An Economy of Wellbeing for Inclusion”.

This webinar brought together experts and policymakers to discuss how to move beyond traditional ‘wellbeing’ indicators based on economic performance such as GDP. In addition, we exchanged good practices that exemplify how this economic model can promote the inclusion of persons with disabilities, and what role service providers can play in enabling it.

Experts on this matter from Eurohealthnet, the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) and other European non-for-profit like Mental Health Europe joined the 2-hour webinar to share insights on the wellbeing economy and how investing in people’s wellbeing can result in more sustainable economic growth that has a positive social impact.
