APPC Congress 2018

1st Africa Positive Psychology Conference (APPC) is organized by Londocor Event Management and will be held during Apr 04 - 07, 2018 at North-West University, Potchefstroom, North West, South Africa.

Under the theme “Embracing well-being in diverse contexts”, our goal is to bring together a diversity of role-players, including scholars and researchers, practitioners, students, and others working in the area of well-being promotion and quality of life enhancement, from the diverse African continent and the rest of the world. Studies in Positive Psychology are multidisciplinary and dynamic in nature and seek to understand and promote psychosocial well-being in various life domains and diverse contexts. It aims to promote holistic well-being, which encompasses subjective (thoughts, feelings, and judgment of satisfaction with specific dimensions and domains), and objective (physical resources, employment and income, education, health, and housing) elements at intrapersonal, interpersonal and communal/ societal levels.

This historic conference will be the platform for showcasing scholarship and advances in practice in Africa and the rest of the world. Diverse areas of study will be featured: from cultural and cross-cultural studies to innovative technological interventions, among others. The broad-ranging four-day schedule includes an emerging scientist programme, pre-conference workshops, keynote and invited presentations by leaders in the field, invited symposia, a meet-the-editor session, as well as a multitude of oral and poster presentations.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
