Nurturing Wellbeing & Purpose Award

The Nurturing Wellbeing & Purpose Award recognises educational initiatives that place mental and/or physical wellbeing, resilience, and clarity of purpose at the centre of learning and community life.

This category celebrates projects that create supportive environments for learners, educators, and wider educational stakeholders by addressing wellbeing proactively rather than reactively. Initiatives may focus on mental health, physical wellbeing, emotional resilience, identity formation, belonging, or purpose-driven learning, and may operate at the level of individuals, cohorts, institutions, or communities.

Excellence in this category is demonstrated through intentional design, thoughtful implementation, and clear evidence of positive impact on wellbeing or sense of purpose. Successful initiatives move beyond awareness-raising to embed wellbeing into educational culture, structures, or practices, contributing to healthier, more resilient, and more engaged learning communities.
