Reimagining Healthier Lifestyles in a Digital Age
For its 5th edition, The Better Society Academy is coming to Barcelona from November 23rd to 26th and bringing together 30 motivated changemakers within the Health and Wellbeing space.
In a world where digitalisation increasingly shapes how we move, connect, rest, and work, this masterclass will explore how we can achieve more human-centered, inclusive, and sustainable ways of living.
Who should apply?
This masterclass is open for changemakers who are building innovative initiatives which facilitate connection, activity and self care in this technological world. You might be exploring how technology can better support wellbeing, or creating alternatives that support wellbeing beyond the digital world.
The Better Society Academy is open to diverse sectors and backgrounds (no degrees or special accolades required). Selected recipients receive accommodation, full programme access and group meals. Travel fees are not included.

Impact Scale Award

Placemaker Award
For projects that aim to bring places to life through action, care, and imagination.
