Children in three Kent primary schools are this week (4-8 November) finding out how to investigate what makes them happy as part of a University project to help them develop research skills.
The project, entitled How to make a happy school, is being run by Dr Lindsey Cameron, of the University’s School of Psychology. It is taking place during national Festival of Social Science week, organised annually by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).
The Kent project started with around 113 children from the three primary schools learning about why happiness is important – and how scientists measure it – at a workshop at the University’s Canterbury campus.
