This workshop invites participants to engage with one of the world’s largest interactive learning and display spaces – a giant touch-screen installation at Queensland University of Technology (QUT) showcasing stories of wellbeing initiatives led by students and staff. By playing with the digital ‘wall of wellbeing’, participants will enhance their wellbeing literacy, gather ideas of practical wellbeing initiatives, explore innovative design development, and create their own ideas for inspiring collective action.
This workshop offers an immersive experience in how Positive Psychology interventions (PPIs) can complement traditional, recovery-oriented mental health support, providing individuals experiencing difficulties with new pathways to resilience, empowerment, and thriving. Through the award-winning How to Thrive film, an interactive Q&A with creator Marie McLeod and producer Andrew Kelly, and a showcase of how Richmond Fellowship Queensland (RFQ) is adopting this approach, participants will explore Positive Psychology’s application in mental health settings. By focusing on strengths and resilience alongside clinical support, How to Thrive introduces a fresh model for empowering clients beyond the traditional focus on addressing deficits, disorders, and dysfunctions.
This workshop, which can be a continuation of workshop #1 (Renewing Impact: Introductory Evaluation Tools for Positive Psychology Interventions), involves advanced, hands-on activities that deepen participants’ skills in evaluating positive psychology interventions using a readiness and culturally responsive lens. Each activity encourages participants to incorporate systems thinking and participatory methods, empowering them to design evaluations that are both impactful and contextually sensitive. This approach directly supports the theme of renewal by encouraging participants to create evaluations that continuously adapt to and support the diverse communities they serve.
This workshop equips leaders, coaches, and positive psychology practitioners with tools to use humor and flow to rejuvenate professional relationships, foster engagement, and build resilience.

Set within the tranquil surroundings of Brisbane’s Botanical Gardens, this workshop offers a unique, research-informed exploration of synchronicity and nature-based interventions as pathways to enhanced well-being and meaning in life. Through guided experiential activities participants will explore how moments of synchronicity, those meaningful coincidences that resonate on a personal level, can become powerful sources of insight when experienced in connection with the natural world. Nature serves as both context and catalyst, enhancing attention restoration, intuitive clarity, and offering a deeper sense of interconnectedness. By bringing together these two domains, the workshop offers participants an opportunity to expand self-awareness, explore life’s deeper questions, and cultivate a renewed sense of purpose. Unlike conventional approaches, this experience brings theory into lived reality through direct engagement with nature, offering a reflective and transformative space for personal growth.
In this workshop, we present, discuss, and elaborate on ideas for designing educational programs for young people in secondary schools and other social institutions that foster collective hope for a better world. Beginning with the potential and capabilities of the individual, these educational programs adopt a global (social and ecological) perspective as their focus. Since significant changes and profound transformations cannot happen overnight, they require attention to a medium- to long-term timeline. By integrating positive psychology with other disciplines, such as futures studies and transformation literacy, we aim to align individual future goals with visions of a fulfilling life in a thriving world, thereby assisting young people in cultivating a deeper hope for themselves and society. The central question is how to develop stories and visions of hope with young people, conveying the values of a fulfilling life in a sustainable world to enhance their well-being, self-esteem, helpfulness, solidarity, and social engagement. This requires methods and tools that help young people recognize their own abilities and potential, build trust, and enable them to shape their desired future visions for their communities. In this workshop, teachers, caregivers, educators, and other pedagogues learn about the concept of “Positive Futures” and how to implement it in schools and other educational and social institutions.

It is designed to be of benefit to all attendees, whether classical music novices or aficionados, positive psychology beginners or experts, or relationship rookies or veterans. This workshop integrates the arts, science, and personal experience to optimize the benefits of reflecting on various stages of relationships. Attendees will walk away with an inspiring musical experience, helpful information on relationships from scientific research, and interactive practice on how to apply these insights to strengthen their relationships. The workshop is intended to demonstrate the value of interdisciplinary approaches to relationship renewal, as well as the power of the integration of the arts with science for positive interventions in general.
This section focuses on the early stages of relationships, characterized by playfulness, curiosity, and the excitement of building initial connections.
This movement addresses the inevitable challenges and conflicts that arise in relationships, including tensions, miscommunication, and moments when relationships are tested.
This final movement focuses on the potential for integration, cooperation, and fulfilment within relationships as individuals become deeply connected while retaining their own identities.
To conclude the workshop, Pawelski will lead a short debriefing session, encouraging participants to consider how the musical performances provided a reflective space to ponder psychological principles that can be immediately applied to their personal and professional lives. He will draw connections between the musical metaphors and real-life relationships, emphasising how music can serve as a metaphor for working toward harmony, flexibility, and creativity in relationships.
The workshop will end with a short celebratory performance, an encore that reflects the power and potential of flourishing relationships.
