SYMPOSIUM BACKGROUND
Jakarta, 3 - 4th September 2025
The concept of well-being has undergone significant development in recent decades, in line with the growing global awareness of mental health. Mental health, as an essential aspect of human life, requires a thorough investigation of its multifaceted nature, necessitating a more nuanced, interdisciplinary, and culturally attuned approach to its conceptualization and application. In response to this need, the Faculty of Psychology Universitas Negeri Jakarta (UNJ) proudly presents the first International Psychology Symposium: Rethinking Well-being — Interdisciplinary and Global Perspective on Human Flourishing.
This two-day event will bring together experts, practitioners, researchers, and stakeholders from different disciplines to share knowledge, best practices, and innovative strategies to further enhance the quality of life by improving well-being. This event also marks a milestone as the first international symposium presented by the Faculty of Psychology at Universitas Negeri Jakarta (UNJ), underscoring the university’s growing commitment to make meaningful contributions to global academic discourse. We aim to foster dialogue that bridges diverse academic disciplines, including psychology, sociology, philosophy, education, public health, environmental studies, and more.
We welcome contributions addressing a wide range of topics, including philosophical, cultural, environmental, and policy approaches to well-being; well-being in communities, workplaces, and care-giving; and the influence of digital and technological changes. Open to undergraduate and graduate students, researchers, and professionals, this event seeks to foster innovative thinking and collaboration in re-imagining human flourishing. Accepted abstracts will be published in the official symposium proceedings, making this an excellent opportunity for participants to contribute meaningfully to the international discourse on well-being.
