Universidade e Felicidade

Abstract

This scientific article seeks to relate the importance of university and happiness. In a post-pandemic context, more and more people talk about happiness, well-being and mental health. The university can (and should) be a locus for the development of happiness. The study of happiness permeates a series of concepts in philosophy, psychology, spirituality, as well as in culture, the arts and even in the civilizing process. The university space should be, therefore, a space that brings happiness to all teachers, students, collaborators who concretely experience the educational world. The university is, therefore, a space of happiness, hope and meaning for life. Here, people are transformed and welcomed with the colors of solidarity, humanity, perseverance, optimism, vigor, diversity, as well as the different possible shades of the color palette of university education..
