Together with Nestl\u00e9 Purina with its program J\u00f3venes Veterinarios<\/a> and\u00a0COLMEVET <\/a>\u00a0as a wellbeing partner, we have been carrying out the HAPPY WEEK activity for veterinary medicine students at various universities in the country during the months of April and May.<\/p>

The activity was born for first instance in an online format, however, according to the requirements, opportunities and possibilities, together with the Universities and Nestl\u00e9 Purina, we have also been able to arrive in person in a dynamic format of 4 continuous hours.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Thus, HAPPY<\/span> WEEK<\/span> has an online or face-to-face format, adapting to the needs of each university. The online format takes place over 3 consecutive days, with a continuous 2-hour session each day. While the face-to-face format can be carried out in a 2-day design (2 continuous hours each day) or a full immersion in a single day (4 hours with a break).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Within the activity, we review in a practical and close way, the explanatory style, knowing and learning how to use personal character strengths, as well as practicing activities that improve their levels of happiness.<\/p>

We show students that being happier is a choice, developing greater resilience and optimism, \u2026 we give them basic tools and an awakening to this science of Positive Psychology.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We also measure their levels of subjective happiness and satisfaction with life live through scientific tests, and encourage them to perform other self-knowledge tests whose results and optimal uses we explain with examples close to their current moment.<\/p>

So far we have carried out this initiative of Positive Psychology applied to veterinary medicine students, virtually at the Bernardo O'Higgins University and U. Mayor. And in person at the U. de Chile and U. Andr\u00e9s Bello.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
