Acknowledgements:
We are grateful for the input and advice from Wellbeing Economy Alliance members who reviewed earlier versions of the course modules.
Much of the content in Module 1 draws on the Wellbeing Economy in Brief series, a series of short briefing papers written by Katherine Trebeck and Warwick Smith (2024) for the Australian Centre for Policy Development.
Note:
Some writers refer to 'wellbeing', others to 'well-being'. In this course, we use the term wellbeing, except where we quote directly from people or organisations who refer to well-being.
